How to grow the biggest fruit on Earth

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus)

🍐 How to grow the biggest fruit on Earth.

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is one of the most fascinating tropical fruit, as we showed earlier.

👉 In spite of reputation being ultra tropical, the tree is not as cold sensitive as everyone believes. Mature trees can withstand light frost for a few hours without significant damage. Keeping Jackfruit in a pot is also an option in colder areas.
👉 The fruit is so large and heavy that the tree has a smart feature to produce only at the base of the trunk. This makes it possible to keep Jackfruit tree at very short height - 6-7 ft tall. It can be grown in containers considering regular topping/pruning.

🔻 Secrets of Jackfruit successful production:

📍 Frost free temperatures
📍 Soil rich of organic matter (compost, manure, peat moss)
📍 Moist soil and regular watering
📍 Constant pruning and keeping under 7-10 ft
📍Regular application of fertilizer, microelements and SUNSHINE-Honey supplement for better quality fruit.

Why this blue tropical flower has a violet fragrance?

Mazabuka, Blue Lips (Sclerochiton harveyanus)

Why this blue tropical flower has a violet fragrance?

You already saw one unusual blue flower of Tropics - Lead Flower. This one is even more interesting!

👄 Mazabuka, or Blue Lips (Sclerochiton harveyanus) has mauve-blue, unusually lipped flowers that are lightly violet-lavender-fragrant!

💙 Blue Lips create a pretty floral display on this shade-loving shrub with its attractive glossy green foliage.
💙 Flowers are mauve-blue to purple and the lower petals are ribbed, giving the impression of lips, hence the common name.
💙 Five fringed lobes, equal in size, short and rounded, are the flowers distinguishing feature.
💙 Shade lover. Will happily bloom in the shade!

🐝🐦 The numerous flowers produced in summer are attractive to pollinating insects which encourage insect-feeding birds into the garden.
