Plant Cultivation


Very large tree growing to 90+ feet in ideal conditions. The trunk, branches, and leaves contain a gummy latex. The jackfruit is mildly hardy, surviving short frosts and temperatures to 28F for brief periods. Young trees will be killed by any frost. Grow in a warm location, with well drained soil. Jackfruit's cannot stand drought, so water frequently throughout the year, except when cold. Propagation: Usually by seed which germinate in 1-8 weeks. Air-layering and grafting is done to propagate some named varieties. Transplant seedlings after a few leaves have sprouted as the jackfruit has a long tap root that is easily damaged.
