Jujube

Starting in early May we get Jujube fruits. My Chinese and Korean friends love this fruit. It is sweet on the inside , a little more than 1.5cm in diameter. There are two seeds and the fruit has a skin like Mango that needs to be peeled off.
There is another variety of this fruit that is reddish in color.

The fruits are in a group of 8-20 fruits together and the leaves are long and dark green. The tree is full of fruits, more than we can eat. The squirrels are on the tree sometimes, looking for the seeds.
