Apple Ber Ziziphus mauritiana

Apple Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana), commonly referred to as Indian Jujube or Chinese Date, is a tropical fruit tree native to South Asia. This small, thorny tree grows up to 10–12 meters tall and is known for its round, apple-like fruits. The fruits are green or yellow when unripe and turn red or brown as they ripen. They have a sweet, crisp taste and are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. The tree thrives in hot, sunny climates and well-draining soil, making it ideal for arid and semi-arid regions. It is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for home gardens and commercial orchards.
