Jackfruit – Artocarpus heterophyllus Live Tropical Fruit Tree | 1 Foot Tall | Includes 6 Inch Pot Largest Tree Fruit | Sweet Tropical Flavor | Fast Growing

Grow one of the world’s most impressive tropical fruits with Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus). This live plant is approximately 1 foot tall and ships in a 6-inch nursery pot, healthy and well-rooted.

Jackfruit trees are naturally large growers but can be pruned annually to maintain a manageable size of about 12’ x 12’, while still producing heavy yields — sometimes up to 200 pounds of fruit per year. Jackfruit is the largest fruit that grows on a tree, commonly weighing 10–35 pounds, with record fruits reaching much higher weights.

When harvested green, jackfruit can be cooked as a vegetable — boiled, fried, grilled, roasted, or prepared with sauces. The mature seeds are also edible when cooked. When fully ripe, the fruit has a sweet tropical flavor often described as a blend of mango, banana, pineapple, and cantaloupe.

A must-have for tropical fruit collectors and backyard orchard enthusiasts.
