Apparently its grown all over state of Kerala. That's how I understood. At least nurseries have them grafted for sale.We picked one in Feb which is off season, but it was few days before maturity, so fruit went to a chip making. It's not that good allegedly, but very useful tree in cultures where jackfruit is often used as vegetable.

Hi! I'm thinking to plant a jakfruit tree here to use as vegetable. I think the fruit will not mature but it can always be used as vegetable.  ;D

The tree at echo (i think its dang rasimi) seems to bear year round but i might be mistaken.

Somewhat off topic but I ran across this video from Bangladesh showing a flood of JF in the markets>
Based on the exchange rate they are getting less than $0.25 each.

You can get jacks every month in warm climates and some have more prolonged fruiting seasons than others.I doubt that in NZ any jackfruit would be ever-bearing. Dang rasimi like may others can produce fruit outside the main fruiting time which is early summer to the start of winter here. There are always a few around however on just about all varieties.
