Abstract: Ziziphus jujuba ‘Nanjianghong’ was selected from natural variation by the Non-Timber Forest R&D Centre, Chinese Academy of Forestry. It has strong winter hardiness, and produces large fruits with high quality and high yield. Fresh weight per individual fruit was average 38.0 g, containing 31.5% soluble solids, 65.4% total sugar, and 0.860% total acid. The edible rate is close to 97.8%. Individual dry fruit weighed average 20.0 g, with 50.1% of drying rate. The variety can be cultivated for producing fresh fruit in northern Xinjiang, and for producing fruits for both fresh consumption and making dry fruit in the southern and eastern Xinjiang.
