| There were 3 trees here until 1 died recently, this is the larger of the 2 |
|
| That tree has some bark damage close to ground? This is similar to the tree in my photo. The trunk is larger than an adult human trunk. Those trees are slightly more than 100 years old? |

| There was no mention of age at the garden. Bark close to ground seemed ok, it hadn't grown quite as large as the trunk above |

| Bob, These Jujube trees in China can live to 1300 years. They are huge and still producing. Tony |

| I've seen some grafted trees that had narrow stock and large scion, looking like the trunks of that jujube. Impressive trees! |
|
| Wow! Those Jujubes in the video sure are the biggest I have ever seen. |

| Tony I was in Xian last month, I'm sorry I missed that tree! |
|
| The old Chinese jujube trees are not grafted. That DFW tree look bad because of the grafting. That tree won't survive as long as own root tree. I think the DFW tree is probably one of the early standard type trees imported from China, something Li or Lang or the Chico type. So we know mature jujube trees can be much larger than old apple trees. |
