Fill a container with garden soil. Add equal amounts of organic compost and sand to form the rich sandy loam the marang tree prefers.

Harvest the seeds from a healthy, ripe marang fruit by cutting the spiny rind away from the white flesh to access the seeds. Wash the seeds thoroughly to remove any residue.
3
Plant the seed immediately. Although marang fruit seeds have an excellent propagation rate, they do not remain viable outside the fruit for long. Place the seed in a hole roughly twice the length of the seed, about 1 inch deep and cover with soil.
4
Water thoroughly to fully moisten the soil and collapse any air pockets. Keep your marang seed’s soil moist but not soggy.
5
Transplant your marang seedling into a larger container as soon as the first leaves mature -- approximately a month after the seedling first appears. Continue watering the seedling regularly to maintain a moist but not wet soil. Place the seedling where it will receive full sun.
6
Mist your marang seedling once or twice a week to add moisture to the air. As a tropical tree, marang fruit trees thrive in high humidity.
7
Move your marang tree to its final location after one year. In USDA hardiness zones 9 through 13, the marang will grow outdoors in full sun, but in zone 9, you will need to protect the tree from frosts. In all other growing zones, place your marang tree in a protective structure such as a greenhouse.
8
Fertilize your marang tree with 7 to 14 ounces of ammonium sulfate after planting and 2 pounds of fertilizer per tree twice a year after that.
http://homeguides.sfgate.com/grow-marang-artocarpus-odoratissimus-88595.htmlThe one that i planted in full sun/huge pot (with shadenet) is dead, the other 2 get half days full sun without a net and have smaller pots.
Jack seedling (amber) in full sun grew twice as much as the one in half days full sun. It is almost a metre high now ( i pruned the tip twice since beginning) and the marang from same age are about 15 cm. All are in the same soilmix and on sprinkler in dry period.
