denise1 says... It is the destiny of all leaves to decline and fall off. Normally the leaves should last 12 to 24 months. A porous soil could allow excessive drying now and again that would shorten life span. I would plant it out now and prepare the site well and the plant will thrive in a balanced soil. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 14th December 2017 10:53am #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anthony says... I’m not sure where you live due to the postcode but if you are in Qld, your jackfruit should be in a much bigger pot for starters. The leaves look like they are sunburnt or burnt from liquid fertiliser? A plant that size should be in a bigger pot, or in the ground and in full sun. I’ve recently planted 10 jackfruit, start of spring, about that size and they are going great in full sun. Having said that, if your plant isn’t used to full sun, ease into it and it should be fine. I have since found out you are in California so I can’t help you much in relation to inground planting or weather situations, but I would certainly put it in a bigger pot👍 | About the Author Anthony Plainland 14th December 2017 8:23pm #UserID: 9188 Posts: 92 View All Anthony's Edible Fruit Trees |

kevhumphreyss1 says... Hello, I am wondering if those brown spots are caused by excess fertilizer or trace elements like boron ( see photo of citrus leaves ). I live in NSW Australia and my small jackfruit plants were burnt by the sun on a very hot day, 40C / 105F. Whole leaves turned brown overnight but not like your brown spots. Also I agree that a bigger pot is required which also allows room for tap root to grow down
