My Edible Fruit Trees: Jakfruit Trees VIC

Jakfruit - Seedling (Seedling)

Comments: - Great versatile fruit. You can eat it as a curry when it is green. The fruit is sweet and tasty when ripe. The seeds can be boiled and eaten plain or in a curry too. 

Height 40 Centimetres

Growing: In a Pot

Qty: 1

Sun/Shade: Medium Sun

Pollination: Self Pollination

Question: Again I water sparingly and not often. The tropical plants I've had so far do not appear to like too much water. I'll keep it in the pot until winter passes and then plant it in the ground in soring as the weather warms up. I hope it will grown down here in Melbourne.

how is your jack fruit tree doing now? i was just up in brisbane at my friends property. He had several jackfruit trees and the fruit and tree were big. Would be amazing if you got them to grow and fruit down here

Grows real slow here - still alive - no signs yet of flowers.

Jakfruit - Picone Crisp (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: - Did OK in Summer but died in Mid Winter due to cold, not frost but I guess lack of enough warmth for its metabolism. %uFFFDThis is the second one that died, also a seedling I grew from a fruit.

Has your tree produced any flower or fruit yet? How is it doing in winter? I also want to grow one in my backyards.
