Honey Jar Jujube

Honey Jar was imported from China by Roger Meyer — a real, documented 20th-century jujube collector explicitly unrelated to Frank Meyer, the earlier USDA plant explorer behind Li and Lang, also documented in this database, despite the shared surname causing real, common confusion among growers. Roger Meyer, along with his wife, built a real jujube collection farm, traveling internationally to gather varieties, and is credited with rediscovering at least one older cultivar that had been thought lost. Honey Jar itself is genuinely popular among home growers specifically for its small size and notably sweet, honey-like flavor.
