Illustration
King Naresuan (r. 1590-1605 CE) of Ayutthaya (Thailand) was riding an elephant into battle and the elephant stumbled over the roots of a jujube tree (pud sa in Thai). The king expressed his gratitude by ordering jujube trees to be planted around the royal palace. Walking around Ayutthaya today, you can rest in the shade provided by hundreds of jujube trees.
