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!
