Hi all,
I purchased a sugar cane jujube at a local nursery at the beginning of the year. When i planted it, it had flowers however, none of them set fruit. During the year, the tree experienced growth very low on the trunk which i just let grow.. I cannot tell whether the growth is from the rootstock as it's very close to where the graft is and the foliage on the new branching appears to be the same as the primary tree. Also, I only found one tag on the tree - there's not a separate tag for the rootstock. I'm really trying to gauge the chances for pollination next year and whether another tree is required to get fruit.. the tag says "partly self fruitful"... Also, i'm in zone 8a - North Texas.
Questions:
1) Is the new vigorous branching coming from the rootstock?
1a) if it is from the rootstock, would allowing it to grow increase likelihood of pollination?
2) Does anyone know the type of rootstock the tree is likely to have?
Thanks in advance.
