Is There a Plant Named ‘Florida Ziziphus’?

There is no plant species known as “Florida ziziphus”.

The genus Ziziphus, commonly known as jujube, is a group of plants that includes around 40 species of trees and shrubs in the buckthorn family (Rhamnaceae). Some species of Ziziphus are commonly grown for their edible fruit, which is also known as jujube. However, there is no species of Ziziphus that is native to Florida.

There are some other plants that are commonly referred to as “Florida jujube” or “Florida ziziphus”, but these are not true members of the Ziziphus genus. One such plant is the Indian jujube (Eugenia jambolana), which is a tropical tree that is sometimes grown in Florida for its fruit. Another is the Florida ziziphus (Condalia hookeri), which is a small tree or shrub in the buckthorn family that is native to the southeastern United States. However, neither of these plants is a true member of the Ziziphus genus.
