Abstract: Taiwan green jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana) is a new fruit variety, with remarkable economic benefit. To achieve high quality and high yield of jujube in Fujian Province, we quantified the climate suitability model parameters of the jujube in main production areas of Fujian, and analyzed climate suitability characteristics and change trend of main production areas, based on the yield and meteorological data, combined with literature and phenological observation data and agricultural climate suitability model. The results showed that the model based on the equal weight summation method had the highest reliability. The climate suitability of jujube in main production areas of Fujian was higher, with most years being suitable or much suitable. From 1996 to 2013, the influence of climate conditions on jujube growth was generally in a good trend, which was conducive to the development of jujube production. The suitability of the main production areas in the whole growing season was ranked as temperature suitability>comprehensive climate suitability>sunshine suitability>precipitation suitability. September and October are the key period of water management. Our results are important in guiding production management and long-term planning of Taiwan green jujube in Fujian Province.
