Report an issue with this species
Ziziphus jujuba is a resilient tree with a rounded canopy of glossy, dark green leaves and distinctive twisted, gnarled branches. It produces small, fragrant yellow flowers in spring and summer, followed by edible fruits that ripen from green to reddish-brown, attracting pollinators. Its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in various urban environments make it a practical choice for landscaping.
