Question 7

7. How do I fertilize a Jackfruit plant?

Accepted Answer

Jackfruit is ready to harvest 90-180 days after flowering, depending on the variety. The fruit is ready when the skin turns from green to yellow-brown and emits a strong, sweet smell.

Question 9

9. Can Jackfruit plants be grown indoors?

Question 10

10. How tall does a Jackfruit tree grow?

Accepted Answer

Jackfruit trees can grow up to 20-30 meters (65-100 feet) tall in their natural environment. With proper pruning, they can be managed to a smaller size in home gardens, but they still require significant space.

Question 11
