Slow to fruit, my other jackfruit seedling has fruited this year after only 3 years in the ground. Only 5 fruit at first fruit set in 6 years, severe fruit splitting and botrytis rot. Topped the tree in 2016 at about 2 metres leaving one branch.  Regrew very quickly but not flowers yet.

Ok thanks, looks like Daley's doesn't sell Gold Nugget seedlings anymore, just grafted trees.

I have grown a few seedlings and kept one for myself, from a truly delicious fruit we came across in an abandoned orchard while learning to prune. Not sure if I'm game to plant it as it's supposed to grow quite tall and my garden is already full lol. Note: Have given this plant to a friend with acreage who swears she will share the fruit with me!
