The Sihong Jujube trees fruits are a medium to large variety, averaging 5 to 6 centimeters in diameter, and have a round to slightly lopsided, oval shape. The skin is firm, smooth, and chewy, transitioning from green when immature, to green-brown, to mahogany when ripe. Sihong jujubes can be eaten raw in their bi-colored, brown and green stage and are suitable for fresh consumption through their mahogany phase. As the fruits reach full maturity, they will also begin to wrinkle and condense, eventually resembling a dried date. Sihong jujubes are unique from other varieties as they develop small, fine wrinkles, giving the dried fruits an aesthetically pleasing appearance and texture. Underneath the surface, the flesh is thick, crisp, airy, and semi-aqueous with a snap-like quality similar to an apple. There is also a small, inedible pit found in the center of the pale green to white flesh. Sihong jujubes have high sugar content, creating a very sweet, subtly tangy flavor. (USDA Zones 5-10)
