Crisp Jackfruit

Too big to post.

Common Names: Jakfruit, Jackfruit, Crisp Jackfruit

Evergreen tropical tree that thrives in Perth’s warm climate. Seed grown from superior crisp cultivars, these vigorous seedlings establish well and bear the world's largest tree fruit, reaching up to 20kg. The crisp-textured flesh is delicious eaten fresh with a sweet pineapple aftertaste, while green unripe fruit works brilliantly as a pulled-pork meat substitute.

Ideal prune height range: 3-5m

pH growing conditions: 6.0 to 7.5

Shade or full sun: Prefers full sun

Minimum pot year 5: 120L pot

Time to fruit age: 3-4 years from seedling

Jackfruit trees are fast-growing and develop a dense canopy with thick, glossy green leaves. They produce huge, spiky fruit directly on the main trunk and heavy branches. Once settled, they love full sun, organic fertiliser, and plenty of water through summer. Once the tree is large enough, cincturing can be used to encourage early flowering and fruiting.

Interesting Notes:
Ripe jackfruit is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and natural sugars for quick energy. The seeds are also edible when boiled or roasted, making this a zero-waste powerhouse for any backyard food forest.
