Hey welcome to the forum! I see you're situated in a similar zone as I am. Jackfruit would do ok indoors, but it would get too big. You would need a greenhouse. I had a seedling go to 12 ft in less than a year. Even with my greenhouse I simply don't have space for them. If you have any questions about zone pushing or what I grow or you want some plants don't hesitate to send me a pm!

All of the jackfruit and its artocarpus relatives I have growing in containers did poorly, even outdoors and in greenhouse in winter.  Might just be the container soil mix for me, though.

Jak will not do well indoors. Too difficult. Not saying it can't be done. Just not worth it for most, if anyone.
