About Indian Jujube / Ber (Grafted) - Thailand Apple Variety

Indian jujube — also called Ber fruit, Indian Jujube, or Chinese Apple — is a tropical fruit tree. This is the Thailand Apple variety, known for its very sweet taste. It's drought-resistant, easy to grow, and needs almost no maintenance, making it a good pick for balconies and terraces as well as gardens.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun; does best with plenty of direct light.
• Soil: Sandy loam, neutral to slightly alkaline soil with good drainage; also grows well on laterite and medium black soils. Tolerates both water-logging and drought.
• Climate: Long, hot summers; average temperature range 10-50°C.

Planting & Spacing

Can be grown in a medium to large pot on a sunny balcony or terrace, or directly in the ground where it can reach up to 5 metres.

Care

• Watering: Irrigation is especially beneficial during hot weather and while fruit is developing — water stress can cause immature fruit to drop.
• Fertilizer: Responds well to periodic organic feeding; avoid overwatering between doses.
• Pruning: Low-maintenance — prune only if a branch is damaged in transit; new growth comes back readily.

Fruiting & Harvest

Flowers twice a year, with fruit ripening anywhere from October to as late as April depending on the flowering cycle. Edible fruiting typically starts within a year of planting — among the fastest-fruiting plants in this catalogue. Indian jujube is also a good source of Vitamin C.
