Of the red, there are three different kinds, the greater Jujube tree (Zizyphus Jujuba Major), the smaller Jujube (Zizyphus Jujuba Minor), and the wild Jujube tree.  The greater Jujube tree grows sometimes very high, but more often spreads itself in breadth, having a crooked body. The wood is hard and whitish, the bark rugged, and the branches great and spreading. The smaller twigs are about a foot long and full of leaves on both sides, one a little above another, and an odd one at the end. These leaves are small, broad, and pointed at the end, finely dented about the edges, with long veins in them, each standing on a long footstalk, smooth, and feel hard. At the foot of every leaf, towards the tops of the twigs, grow small yellowish flowers, each consisting of five leaves. These are succeeded by the fruit, which is somewhat like a small plum, or olive, but rather long, green, and harsh at the first. Afterwards they become yellowish, and when ripe they are of a fine red color, of a sharp sweetness, and somewhat clammy, containing a seed pit. Its skin is thicker and harder than that of the plum. The smaller Jujube tree is, in branches, leaves, flowers, and fruit, very much like the former, except that it is every way somewhat smaller. It is also thick with thorns like the other, but these are shorter. The wild Jujube tree is lower, and more like a shrub, than either of the former, but thicker set with small sharp thorns. The leaves are similar, but grow not as thick on a twig and are smaller. The fruit of this is also red, somewhat less dry, and of a sharper taste, than the others. They flower in May, and their fruit is generally ripe in September. Contraindications & Toxicity: May lower blood sugar and may interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery.
