Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Jackfruit vs Cempedak
« on: November 20, 2023, 02:16:40 AM »
Jackfruit have sweet and sour taste. Chempadak is only extremely sweet.
Chempadak is easier to peel, soft flash and lots of fibers, so it is not so plesent to eat.

Some of my Jackfruit x Chemadak hybrid has extremely long leaves, just like a mango.

The fruit was also long

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Jackfruit from a cutting already flowering?
« on: December 14, 2021, 01:22:20 AM »
That's probably a male flower but either way it will not hold as the plant so small.

The plastic bag method is putting a cutting in a small pot with moist but not wet, well draining soil and than wrapping it with a sealed transparent plastic bag. You need to make sure to put it in a shaded but lit area, for example under a tree. Not at sun as it can cook the cutting. The sealed plastic bag will make the humidity high and hot and the cutting will form roots after 2 to 3 months. I didn't use rooting hormone but it can help.

That flower dropped but now it has a new flower!
And it's only 15 centimeters tall

This Jackfruit cutting took me three months to root using the plastic bag method. It looks like it's forming a flower?
What do you think?

I want to share another cutting that was directly planted into a pot.
This is more than a month, it's showing buds growing.
I didn't use any rooting hormone.

Update on the cutting:
After transfering it to sphagnum moss, I've noticed it start declining. I later transfered it to peat moss and put it outside. It was still not doing well, now it's inside the house with grow lights. Still alive but not doing anything. Will wait and see if it will show some growth.




10
I wonder if taking a cutting from that branch will keep the variegated characteristics

11
A grapevine grown from seed, has grown one variegated leaves branch. The other branches are regular.


12
It will close on it's own. Using paint\sealer will just make it harder for the tree to close the wound. 

13
Yes, I think people are not trying from cuttings or air layers because others are saying it won't work well,
but everyone should experiment and see what works best.
For example, mulberry do great from cuttings, Jackfruit is also related to mulberry, so maybe it can also do great when grown from a cutting.

14
I think that it should be the same as air layered Jackfruits.
No tap root but for pots having no tap root is an advantage.
I'll update this post with the results. Now the cuttings are in sphagnum moss, so I cannot see the roots, but I'll see if new leaves will grow.

15
This way it won't have a tap root.
Maybe it will behave better when grown in a pot

16
Here's another one, here roots grow all over the branch


17
Distance was about 10cm.
I didn't patent it, it is just a hobbyist attempt at home.
I didn't find any info on propagating Jackfruit via cuttings.
It will be interesting to hear if anyone else attempted it to.

18
After ~2 months, using grow lights and water, I was finally able to root Jackfruit from cuttings.
The roots are still small, today I've transplant it into small cup with moist sphagnum moss.

Looks great. How old is the tree?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / What's wrong with my Jackfruit?
« on: July 12, 2020, 04:56:45 PM »
My Jackfruit was planted in late March.
I've been watering it everyday, it seems like the leaves are yellowish and it stopped growing.
Is that over watering issue?
I gave it fertilizer and iron.
Now I'm watering every other day.
Please help

Yes, I'm skeptical about the whole thing, but curious to see if it can work.
If it does works, it may allow growing Jackfruit in non tropical climates due to better root stock.

Hi,
I've found a YouTube video showing a Jackfruit grafted onto a fig and mulberry. It is possible?
