🍐 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.
