Use Jujube for Erosion Control 
The Jujube suckers from the roots and 
will make a thicket if allowed to grow and 
spread. It is excellent to hold the soil and for 
erosion control. For this purpose, the seed- 
ling trees are inexpensive and _ produce 
quantities of small fruit. After trees are 
several years old, hogs may be turned in 
and will make good use of the abundant 
nutritious fruit.
