Jujube Tree (Ziziphus spinosa) one year old seedling

The thorny jujube (Ziziphus spinosa) is used as a rootstock for grafting Ziziphus jujuba varieties. Using a jujube seedling as a rootstock for grafting is more advantageous than using an in vitro (vegetatively) propagated rootstock, as the seedling is more adaptable to site conditions, has a longer lifespan, and exhibits better vitality. It adapts better to water shortages, can utilize supplied nutrients more effectively, the root system develops significantly better than in vitro propagated rootstocks, and the tree requires no support in adulthood, even in windy locations, as it is well anchored in the soil.
