What our customers say

The trees were delivered promptly and they are the biggest, best looking mail-order trees I have seen in a long time. I will be ordering more in the future.

Website customer · email

The bare roots are by far the most established roots that I have ever seen on a bareroot tree.

Website customer · email

It looks like it is at least 7 feet tall. I certainly was not expecting it to be that big.

Lisa · email

Absolutely beautiful trees, especially compared to some of the other mail order bare roots I have gotten from other companies.

Website customer · email

An extra long box for taller trees is totally worth it to me. The trees are great.

William · email

The plants look beautiful and healthy. I was impressed by the size and strength of the 3-Cherry Tree.

Jose · email

Bare root was in great condition. A lot of branching and looks ready for a harvest this year. Best fruit trees in the business!

Daniel, Lapin cherry · website review

Very nice big tree, some limbs already blooming. I've planted it and it hasn't wilted. Arrived quickly and very well packaged.

Beulah, 4 in 1 Fruit Salad · website review

They have really healthy plants, all were larger than I expected. I for sure will be ordering more from them!

Billie · website review

Arrived quickly and in great shape, larger than I had expected too.

Ralph, red currant · website review

Thank you so much for these lovely hardy kiwis. They are much bigger than expected. Will be ordering from you again.

Irene · email

Boxed perfect. Shipped on time. Excellent quality stock. About the only thing you could do to improve my experience would be to fly out to Maine and plant them for me.

Don, Maine · email

I have been buying from your nursery for years, and hands down your citrus has survived the best out of all of my sources. I have never lost a plant in my colder climate.

Returning customer · email

The packaging for those kiwis was brilliant and by far the best packaging job out of any place I ordered from this year. Your Annas are tough as nails.

Travis · email

I received my pink currant in perfect condition. I am always amazed since I live in the southeast and they are in the northwest!

Susan · website review

All 3 bushes arrived looking healthy. It's been over a month and they are still going strong.

Description

Lang is a classic jujube grown primarily for drying, valued for firm texture and dependable production. It has long been used as a standard drying variety and remains one of the most widely planted jujubes for this purpose.

When allowed to fully mature, the fruit sweetens noticeably and dries evenly, developing the rich, traditional flavor many people associate with dried jujubes. While it can be eaten fresh at full maturity, Lang is best appreciated when harvested ripe and dried.

In the orchard, Lang is known for consistency and reliability rather than novelty. It continues to be planted by growers who want a dependable tree that performs well year after year for processing and storage.

Overview

  • Traditional jujube variety grown primarily for drying
  • Firm flesh that holds shape during dehydration

Planting & Care

Site Selection

  • Select a sunny site to ensure full fruit maturity and drying quality.

Soil Preparation

Planting Instructions

  • Set the root flare at or just above soil level.
  • Backfill with native soil and water deeply.
  • Mulch 2–3″ deep, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

  • Water regularly during the first growing season.
  • Once established, water during extended dry periods.
  • Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can reduce drying quality.

Pollination

  • Lang is self-fertile.
  • Planting another jujube variety nearby often improves yield and fruit consistency.

Pruning & Training

  • Train to an open or central leader structure.
  • Prune lightly in late winter to remove crowded branches.
  • Wear gloves when pruning young growth due to thorns.

Harvest & Use

  • Allow fruit to fully brown before harvesting for drying.
  • Dry fruit in a dehydrator or well-ventilated space.
  • Fresh eating is best reserved for fully mature fruit.

General Tips

  • Lang improves in productivity as trees mature.
  • Multiple harvest passes may be needed.
  • Best paired with a fresh-eating jujube for a balanced planting.
