| Tony I have not grown those specific jujube's and don't know anything about that website but I can tell you seedling jujube will grow in zone 5. Keep in mind they say seedling so your jujube may wind up being marble sized. My jujube I got from edible landscaping and I purchased is a li. My understanding is the fruit may or May not ripen for us because they take a long time to ripen up. No pests or disease have bothered my tree. They are a beautiful tree with thorns. My tree has been in the ground 4 years enduring the major drought we just went through. The drought killed trees 20 years old. Hope that helps |

| They look good but minimum order is 1000 to 2000 pieces. They look great and I'd like one. if 1000 of us chipped in it would be a good deal. |

| I know these. If ripe, the fresh ones are really sweet and delicious. The fresh fruit has a unique flavor that is different from all other fruits. The center of each fruit is a pit that is the shape of an olive pit. If processed these become something very similar to dates - only a little more fruity. |

| I'll agree jujube are sweet and have a unique flavor. Trouble is the fresh flavor might be described as a cross between the infamous cardboard and green apples. But I'll admit those pictured above look interesting and I did have a good dried one once. I've got seven trees I'd sell. Couldn't give them away maybe they'd sell....;-) |

| No knowledge about grafting on osage orange. I grafted some on local seedling jujube which worked well. I had Honey Jar but it froze out 24F last May. Still have Sugar Cane, Sherwood, Li, Shanxi Li, and three local varieties with big fruit. |
