{"product_id":"lang-jujube-tree","title":"Lang Jujube Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Lang Jujube Tree (Ziziphus jujuba ‘Lang’) is a highly respected jujube variety known for its firm texture, rich flavor when dried, and beautifully pear shaped fruit. The lang jujube fruit begins as medium to large, greenish fruit that matures into a deep reddish-brown Chinese date. While the fruit has a mild sweetness when fresh, it becomes soft, chewy, and richly flavored once fully dried—making it one of the most dependable jujube varieties for long-term storage, baking, teas, and traditional recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdaptable, durable, and productive, the jujube lang tree is an excellent choice for home gardeners who want a fruit tree that delivers a reliable harvest with minimal upkeep.
