Jackfruit

The large fruits weigh from 10 to 40 pounds or more and are borne on the trunk and branches. The thick pulp covering each seed is sweet and either eaten fresh or prepared in curries and soups or dried (resembling dried bananas) Jackfruit does not require special care but prefers the lowlands (below 1,800 feet), well-drained soils, and some fertilization. The trees are large, but can be shaped, so give them plenty of room. Two popular cultivars are ‘Black Gold’ a firm fleshed tasty large fruit and ‘Ziman Pink’ a “dwarf” cultivar with smaller roundish fruits with delicious flavor.

Available in 3 gallon.
