　　Zhengming Jujube. Mainly produced in Xinzheng and Zhongmu, Henan, and is also one of the main cultivars in the Xinzheng jujube-growing region, accounting for about 30% of the total jujube yield in the area. It is a leading export product of Chinese red jujubes, primarily sold to Southeast Asia and Japan, with high economic returns.

　　The fruit is relatively small, with an average single fruit weight of 5.6g and uniform size. The representative type, 'Chicken Heart Jujube', is chicken-heart shaped, with thin skin, thick and dense flesh that is fine-textured and extremely sweet. Its soluble solid content is over 31%, and its edible rate is 91.8%. It is an excellent variety for drying, with a higher drying rate than that of Grey Jujube. The dried fruit has an edible rate of about 90.3%, small seeds, firm and elastic flesh, good resistance to pressure and storage, and is of superior quality.

　　　　The fruit matures in mid-September. The tree is vigorous, highly productive, and stable, with strong resistance to drought, salinity, poor soil, dry hot winds, pests and diseases, especially jujube fruit shrinkage disease. It does not crack when ripe during rainy seasons. Due to its close genetic relationship with wild jujube, using wild jujube as rootstock results in excellent yield stability after grafting. It is considered one of the best jujube varieties and suitable for large-scale cultivation.
