Codes and descriptions are presented in response to phenological growth stages of Indian jujube fruit (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) according to the Biologische Bundesantalt, Bundessortenamt, and Chemische Industrie (BBCH) scale using two digits. The description of the phenological growth stages is combined with illustrations for clarification. A total of seven principal growth stages (namely, bud, leaf, shoot development, inflorescence emergence, flowering, fruit development, and fruit maturation) have been described, as well as forty secondary growth stages. The codification between the different growth stages and correct timing should help to achieve management of Indian jujube orchards more effectively. Furthermore, it can serve as a tool to assess the impact of climate change on crop phenology and to evaluate the adaptation under different weather conditions.
