Quick Takeaway
For a quick answer, check the main steps below. Always ensure proper sanitation and optimal temperatures for the best yield.
The Heavyweight Champion
Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) can produce individual fruits weighing up to 100 lbs. Because the fruits are so heavy, they grow directly on the main trunk and large structural branches, rather than at the tips of small branches.
Space Requirements
A mature jackfruit tree is massive. Do not plant it near structures, power lines, or underground pipes. It requires a significant footprint and full tropical sun to thrive.
