🧊 Arctic Honey™ Jujube Tree
Shop Arctic Honey Jujube Tree →
Growing Regions:
Hardy from Zone 3 through Zone 9, the Arctic Honey Jujube is one of the most cold-tolerant jujube varieties available. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils and adapts well to most U.S. climates, from northern gardens to southern orchards.
Chill Hours & Ripening:
Requires approximately 300–500 chill hours, and fruits ripen from late summer through early fall.
Flavor & Use:
The fruit has a sweet, honey-like flavor with crisp texture when fresh and chewy when dried—similar to dates.
Pollination:
While Arctic Honey is partially self-fertile, planting another jujube variety like Li or Lang nearby improves yields.
Care Tips:
Prune in late winter to maintain an open canopy. Water regularly during the first year, but reduce frequency once established—jujubes are drought-tolerant.
🍯 Recipe: Jujube Honey Granola
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup chopped dried jujubes
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- ¼ cup nuts (optional)
Bake at 300°F for 25 minutes, stirring halfway. Enjoy as a healthy snack or breakfast topping!

Flavor & Use:
