Jackfruit in one hole / high density
« on: August 06, 2013, 10:20:42 PM »
I enjoyed a fruit from a J-31 seedling yesterday.  I took a dozen of the seeds and put them in 5" containers and moistened the soil and put them out in the sunlight. 

I have read that Jackfruit trees mostly come true to seed but not all of the time.  I  also interested in the possibility of the J-31 variety to produce later or off season fruit. 

In order to get a tree with the best characteristics, I am considering planting four of the future seedlings close together.  I could either leave them there it thin out the inferior one(s).   

I have an available spot which is 12' by 14'.  I was considering planting four seedlings in a square arrangement, so that they are 4' and 6' apart.   

Is it feasible to just leave four trees like this long term?  If so, could I even do 2-4 seedlings even about 2' apart from each other?

Thanks!

I suppose it would be no different than planting in one hole. You will need to be diligent about pruning, i guess, but i think it would be possible.
