I live in the Mojave desert, zone 8b, and want to transition my small backyard to a sustainable/edible landscape. Jujube sounds like a great tree for this climate, but no one sells them locally, making it difficult to find out what to plant in the understory - and how far from the trunk to place anything. Are the suckers a big problem? Are there strategies to limit suckering far from the tree? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
