jackfruit tap root

[raiders36]

Can a transplant jackfruit tree (2 feet) with a damaged taproot (not sure it was a tap root but one had broken off) survive?

I don't know if it will live, but jackfruit improve in drought tolerance with taproots. It may be potentially hampered, but pot it up and give it a whirl. I would pot jackfruit in a tall milk container or one of those black tall pots that citrus come in from Laverne nursery next time.

I don't see why not, it may be less tolerant of dry spells, and wind. I have a mango seedling that had its taproot broken when moved and it does fine. At any rate, since it's broken the taproot anyway it seems like there's no harm in planting it.

future transplanting you should use a hose, makes sure you get every root.

Hi! Please tell us how was your experience with Jack Fruit transplantation without a taproot? I will be very grateful

The taproot should regrow. Marcots of jacks without taproots do fine without the btw but perhaps would not appreciate cyclones and hurricanes

My friends rescue 2 jackfruit with damage tap root. Both died. They are experienced gardeners who rescued many trees and know how to dig out tree. It's very hard to get an entire tap root.

Good luck

Its possible with the right temperature & humidity level.

I've planted plenty of jacks that outgrew their pots and the tap root was shriveled and clearly dead. Most are fine, they just take a little longer to get going. Really it depends on the size of tree you are transplanting. Younger trees would have a better chance of surviving
