Jackfruit Questions for South Floridians
« on: May 18, 2020, 08:33:16 PM »
Hi Guys
I want to plant a Jack in ground and one in a container. Which variety is most prolific? A crunchy sweet texture that will produce a lot of fruit, since I only have room for one of them I want it to produce the most fruit that I can. Also- I’ve seen fruiting jacks at Excalibur; does anyone have jackfruits in containers which produce for you? I live in North Dade.

Thanks
Zach

Jackfruits can fruit in a container no problem, but they should be pruned from time to time. In my experience Mai III jackfruit is the best for what you are looking for.
