Sugar Cane
A tier
Sugar Cane is a very sweet, elongated jujube cultivar whose name tracks its high sugar and cane-like fruit shape. Flesh is crisp and candy-leaning when fully brown-mahogany; it is a favourite among fresh-eating enthusiasts who want maximum sweetness. Size is medium to large depending on crop load. Eat plain as a dessert fruit; minimal need for added sugar in fresh applications. Can dry into intensely sweet dates. Thin fruit if trees set heavily for best size.
