One of John Piconi's Jakfruits recently picked ready to be sold at the Byron Bay Farmers Markets. John is experimenting with a range of selections that will perform in northern NSW. Recently we grafted a pink fleshed selection with very large arils for John, hopefully it will be a winner for him. Besides selling his Jakfruits as a fresh fruit he also has been drying the arils with the seeds removed, absolutely delicous. If you ever have the opportunity to be in Byron Bay on a Thursday morning visit his stall at the Byron Bay Organic Farmers Market.

In my country jackfruits are all over...they are usually grown from seeds. We have several varieties of jackfruit in my country. Some can even grow up to human size.

There was a Jfruitgrowing at Wallacia in a burnt out nursery. Green Jade ,I think was its name . So they can take a little frost.

Human sized:
That maybe should be a maximum 47 kg or maximum 50 kg for a Jakfruit/Jackfruit.

I lived in Thailand for 2 years and they grow like weeds there. The love lots of water and mulch. I liked the rubbery variety not the soft one. A jackfruit I got from subtropical world is growing well here in Brisbane.
