A tropical fruit tree that produces the world's largest tree fruits!

Anyone who has ever seen a 50 kg jackfruit hanging from a tree in the tropics is unlikely to forget it. The plant originated in India and Bangladesh, and jackfruit is now widespread in many tropical regions.

The plant can be grown indoors in Sweden in a pot but can also be placed outdoors in the summer. In addition to its spectacular fruit production, the jackfruit tree is also a beautiful houseplant. With regular pruning, it can be kept small and fits well in the home.

The fruits are enormous and also taste fantastically good. Due to their weight, the fruits must form directly on the tree trunk, a phenomenon called cauliflory. This is the same principle as in the cacao tree.

The 'Jackfruit' itself has a rough, spiky surface and can grow up to 90 cm long and 50 cm wide. The flesh is yellow and sweet, with a taste reminiscent of a mix of banana, pineapple, and mango. Another thing you won't forget is the sticky, milky white sap that is virtually impossible to wash off and can seep from both leaves and branches. Jackfruit trees are self-fertile, which means you only need one tree for fruit production.

Care

Jackfruit trees thrive best in full sunlight. They need at least 6-8 hours of direct sun every day, so a grow light is recommended. Keep the soil evenly moist. They thrive in warm climates with temperatures between 25-35°C. The plant is sensitive to frost and can tolerate temperatures down to a maximum of 0°C.

Jackfruit has been cultivated in India for over 3000 years and plays an important role in many cultural and religious traditions. Buy Jackfruit plant online!
