Nangka mini jackfruit in the USA?
« on: April 18, 2024, 09:10:16 AM »
Has anyone successfully fruited Nangka mini in the USA? I’d be interested in growing out some seed  or purchasing a grafted plant if anyone has some available.

Is this a dwarf tree? I have a Cochin (dwarf) from Lara Farms that's supposed to have smaller fruits as well.

I was working with a source to import these, but it fell through.
Small tree and small fruits.

Cochin is not a dwarf but the mini is. Fruit can get to about 3kg and are good quality tasking a bit like a J33 and they are fairly soft fleshed.

The tree in the pics with fruit I believe is the mother tree that gave scion for my yard nanka mini. The seem the easiest jack to graft.

Is it's dwarf tree. I ordered one from nursery in Java, might have seeds in future. Here is description from nursery website:

" As the name suggests, the size of the fruit of the minii jackfruit tree is not too big,
The size of the fruit is medium, but not too small either. It tastes sweet and delicious.
Due to its small size, mini jackfruit is very suitable for small spaces and still bears fruit diligently even when planted in a pot.
Caring for mini jackfruit tabulampot is also not difficult. Only with regular fertilization with manure/organic fertilizer, the Mini Jackfruit will still bear fruit diligently"

Well, Mike or anyone else, if you happen to have a few seeds to share, I would love to get a few!
Would be perfect for greenhouse growers.

Sign me up for seeds of these as well. Would like to try this in a big pot and keep it indoors in the winter.
Continuing my journey to disprove those who say "You can't grow that in the desert" since 2013.

Sounds like some good interest, but no USA sources yet? Thanks for the responses everyone. I'll post here if I find a source for scions or seeds.
