Fruit
Sherwood
A tier
Sherwood is a large elongated US jujube selection with sweet crisp flesh and strong fresh-market appeal in American specialty orchards. Fruit size impresses on plates; flavour is mild-sweet when fully coloured. It extends the set of Western-named cultivars beyond classic Li and Lang. Best fresh; drying works but Li/Lang traditions dominate process talk. Pick tree-ripe for non-astringent sweetness. Popular with growers seeking big fruit for direct sales.
