🌿 About the plant:


Jackfruit is the world’s largest tree-borne fruit, native to South and Southeast Asia. When ripe, its golden pods are sweet, fragrant, and naturally caramelize when cooked. It has been a staple food for centuries, used both ripe and unripe in desserts and savory dishes.

🌱 In the garden:


Jackfruit is a fast-growing tropical tree that thrives in warm climates with full sun and good drainage. It loves regular water and fertile soil, it's a heavy feeder. Best suited for USDA zones 9b-11, it can be grown in large containers when young and makes a bold, architectural fruit tree in the landscape. The fruit forms at the base of the tree, so trimming it under 7-8 ft makes it easier for cold protection.
