New video: Cheena
Jackfruit x Chempedak Natural Hybrid - Jackedak
Jack-edak is a highly recommended variety grown in TopTropicals garden from a seedling of Cheena (Jackfruit x Chempedak) that fruited for us within 3 years from planting. The fruit (20-25"size) is probably the best we ever tasted! It is super sweet, crunchy and has a rich, pleasant, excellent flavor. It has very little latex which makes it easy to handle when cutting up. The tree produces at the very base of the trunk, so you can prune it as short as you want. Our tree survived light frosts as well as 48 hours of 3 ft flooding, with no damage! Cheena is a natural hybrid between Jackfruit and Chempedak. The tree has an open, low and spreading growth habit and can be maintained at a height and spread of 8 ft with annual pruning. Cheena is a consistent producer. The fruit are up to 25 lbs, long, narrow and uniform in size and shape. The skin is green, with blunt spines that yellow and open slightly upon maturity. Comes true from seed.

Growing Jackfruit in a pot
Q: I have a young jackfruit tree, and I wanted to know, is a 25 pot enough for an adult tree?
A: 25 to 50 gal should be eventually a good size pot for growing
a Jackfruit tree. Keep in mind the following:
1. Start with a smaller container, only slightly bigger than the root
system. Do not plant directly into a large container, this may create a risk
for root rot.
2. Step up the tree in a bigger container every year as it grows
bigger. With every repotting, trim both branches and roots to compact the plant and
to encourage branching out.
3. Jackfruit trees should be kept pruned under 6-7 ft in pots and 10-12
ft in the ground. This makes healthy fruit production more efficient and
keeps fruit at the base of the tree.

What is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world?
Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus)
👀 What is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world?
🍈 Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) reaches 80 pounds in weight and up to 36 inches long! It is one of the most fascinating fruit in the world.
- ✳️ The fruit consists of large edible bulbs of yellow, sweet, banana-flavored aromatic flesh.
- ✳️ The fruit is so large and heavy that the tree has a smart feature to produce only at the base of the trunk. So the tree can be (and should be) pruned annually to 7-12' producing as much as 200 lbs. of fruit per year!
- ✳️ Seedlings start fruiting within 3-4 years. Fruit ripen pretty quickly, 4-6 months from flower to maturity.
