When to plant chinese jujube

NC State Extension describes jujube as a deciduous tree that prefers warm, somewhat dry climates and tolerates alkaline soils. It gives no planting date; set out dormant stock in early spring while the soil is workable.

Chinese Jujube is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
