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.
