WANTED: jujube or chinese red date

I am looking for seed of jujube also known as chinese red date (zizyphus jujuba) which I believe is grown around Western Australia and South Australia. I cannot find it in any fruit tree nurseries locally but would also be interested if any one knows of any source of plants in Queensland.

hi if you cant get from eden seeds( they are around $2.70 a pct of 9 seeds) i may have some seeds under my trees where the parrots have eaten the fruit, let me know if interested, i have found propagation from seed difficult and purchased both trees grafted and on original roots, they have grown slowly here, with a short growth spurt each year and thats it. the grafted trees were $50 dollars each and they are named varieties,but only 15 cm tall, and the fruit is twice the size of the bare rooted ones, , The grafted have grown the most but are still only around 4 foot tall. paul
