{"product_id":"autumn-beauty-jujube","title":"Autumn Beauty™ Jujube","description":"\u003cp\u003eAutumn Beauty™ is a large-fruited, early-ripening jujube with crisp, juicy fruit and a sweet, pleasantly spicy, apple-like flavour. The round to oval fruit can reach close to 2 inches across, making it notably large for such an early-ripening cultivar. It is excellent eaten fresh while crisp and can also be allowed to fully ripen or dried for a sweeter, date-like treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso known as 'Qi Yue Xian', Autumn Beauty\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e™\u003c\/span\u003e has a relatively compact growth habit and is a good option for smaller gardens. An unusual feature of this cultivar is its developing fruit, which can emerge dark reddish-purple before turning green as it grows, then gradually colour reddish-brown as it ripens. Like other jujubes, the tree is highly tolerant of heat and drought once established and produces small, fragrant flowers that attract pollinating insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon names:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Autumn Beauty™ Jujube, Qi Yue Xian Jujube, Chinese Date, Red Date\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdible:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fruit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest timing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early season (early to mid fall)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eZiziphus jujuba\u003c\/em\u003e 'Qi Yue Xian' (aka Autumn Beauty\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e™)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull-grown size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 12-15' tall \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zone 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-fertile, though cross-pollination with another variety can increase yields.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fallen fruit may be eaten by mammals, though the tree itself is quite resilient to pests. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to China and cultivar bred in China.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNoteworthy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large fruit that ripen early.
