Tianjin Golden Silk Jujube

Last updated 2026-11-08 — Its primary use is to be dried into red dates, but it can also be eaten fresh. This variety has relatively weak tree vigor but is highly productive and yields consistently. There are over 20 types of fruit, with an average weight of 4–7g per jujube. The skin is thin, the flesh is thick, and the color is bright red, shiny and attractive. The texture is fine and crisp, with moderate juice content, and an extremely sweet taste. The pit is small. The drying rate is 60%, and fresh jujubes contain 30–38% soluble solids. When overripe, the fruit can be split to reveal yellow threads, hence the name "Golden Silk Jujube." Dried jujubes contain 74–80% sugar. The fruit stores and transports well. It prefers fertile clay or loamy soil, has poor tolerance for poor soils, but strong resistance to salinity and alkalinity, making it suitable for growing in saline-alkali land. It is currently the highest-quality variety of red date. The ripening period is in late September.
