About Lang
Lang produces pear-shaped fruit that's best when dried — sweet, chewy, and date-like when fully ripe. It's the classic drying jujube and pairs perfectly with Li for cross-pollination.
Growing Challenges
Must be fully ripe on tree for best flavor; thorny; fruit quality is poor if eaten too early.
Frequently Asked Questions
How close does a pollinator need to be to Lang?
For reliable pollination, plant the partner variety within 50–100 feet of Lang. Bees are the primary pollinators and typically work within this range. In practice, a tree in your yard or even a neighbor's nearby tree can work. The closer the trees, the more consistent the fruit set.
Can I grow just one Lang tree?
No — Lang requires a compatible pollination partner to produce fruit. Without a second tree of a different variety nearby, it will bloom but won't set fruit.
