Zizyphus jujuba is a woody plant of Rhamnaceae, and it is difficult to grow into a tree. When it grows to the thickness of the cup mouth, it will naturally dry up and regenerate buds from the roots. Since ancient times, Zizyphus jujuba has been clustered everywhere on the sunny slope of the Loess Plateau, and the Taihang Mountain area is rich in Zizyphus jujuba.
The main producing area is located in Xingtai area in the south of Hebei Province, which is the largest and only jujube industrial base in China. Jujube processing accounts for more than 90% of the country, and the products are also exported to Japan and the United States. Known as "the crown of jujube in the world" and "the hometown of jujube in China".
Ziziphus jujuba branches have hard texture and good wear resistance, and have always been excellent materials for weaving and grinding the ground. Its tender branches grow fast, but its old stems grow slowly, also called Cycas. It is not easy to grow into a towering tree. However, there is still the oldest jujube tree in China in Graphite Township, Gaoping City, Shaanxi Province, which is over 2000 years old.
