GROWING JUJUBE FRUIT TREE SEEDS 

Cold Stratify the Seeds 

Wrap the jujube stones in moist sphagnum moss and place them inside a sealable plastic bag. Leave the bag open 1 inch to allow excess moisture to escape. Store the seeds in the refrigerator for two to three months to cold stratify. Moisten the sphagnum moss whenever it feels barely damp. 

Soak the Seeds 

Remove the jujube stones from the refrigerator after the cold stratification period has ended. Place them in a bowl. The Zhong Wei Horticultural Products Company says to cover them with just-boiled water and soak them for 24 hours. 

Scarify the Seeds 

Rub the side of each jujube stone with a steel rasp until a small hole forms or gently crack the endocarp with a handheld nutcracker. This is known as scarifying the seed. It weakens the endocarp, or hard outer layer, so the seed inside will germinate faster. 

Sow the Seeds 

Sow the processed jujube seeds in individual 4-inch pots filled with sterile potting mix. Sow them 1/2 inch deep. Water each pot after sowing to help settle the soil. 

 
Use a Germination Mat 

Place the potted jujube seeds inside a greenhouse, insulated cold frame or indoors near a large, sunny window when growing jujube in container. Warm the pots with a germination mat set to 80 F during the day and 60 F at night. 

Keep the Soil Moist 

Monitor the moisture level in the potting mix closely because it will dry out quickly with the warm temperatures. Add water whenever it feels mostly dry in the top 1/4 inch. Water until it feels moderately moist but not soggy in the top 1 inch. 

Watch for Germination 

Watch for germination in three to four weeks. Keep the germination mat in place for another two weeks, then begin turning it off during the day. Warm the pots at night for another week, then remove the germination mat completely.&n
