Jujube tree growth environment conditions and characteristics

Jujube tree growth environment conditions and requirements

In China, the jujube tree is distributed in Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu, Xinjiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. It grows in mountainous areas, hills or plains below 1,700 meters above sea level. The jujube tree has different requirements for humidity at different growth stages.

Date tree growth temperature

The suitable temperature for jujube trees is 15-25 degrees. They have a relatively strong ability to withstand high and low temperatures. Generally, they can survive in high temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius, and can withstand low temperatures of -30 degrees Celsius during their dormant period.

Date tree growth humidity

The best time to water jujube trees to promote fruit growth is in early July, when young fruits are growing rapidly, in order to promote the rapid division and expansion of jujube fruit cells. At this time, the jujube trees are in bloom and require relatively high air humidity, with a relative humidity of about 75-85%.

Date tree growing soil

The jujube tree has a strong ability to adapt to the soil. Whether it is acidic soil or alkaline soil, the pH value must be within the range of 5.5-8.5. With proper management, the jujube tree can grow well.

Jujube tree growth cycle and process

Jujube trees require higher temperatures to grow and develop, so they sprout later and shed their leaves earlier than ordinary fruit trees. They only begin to sprout when the temperature reaches 13~14℃ in spring.

During its life, a jujube tree goes through the process of growth, fruiting, aging, renewal and death. The life of a jujube tree can be divided into five age periods according to the size of the tree, the amount of fruit produced, the thickness of the trunk and the growth of branches.
