Keryn Simpson says... Dear Anonymous,
Do Jackfruit need pollination from another tree, thefruit that are on the tree appear dry an\d hard, don't know why.Thanking you for your suggestion.

Michael says... Hi Keryn,
Jackfruit from male flowers are small, long and stumped so they won't grow. The large jackfruit comes from the female flower on the tree. It's a matter of luck whether your fruit develops from the female or male flower. | About the Author Michael Cabramatta 15th December 2008 12:37pm #UserID: 1746 Posts: 178
