Title: Jackfruit Seedling Issue
Post by: fliptop on March 06, 2021, 01:47:32 PM

A couple of my seedling Jackfruit trees have this issue--the top part seems to have died? Any idea what's going on/what could be done? Thanks!

I can get a better pic if necessary after the much needed and welcome rain

I think it may be cold weather induced.You said you had some temps in 30s.Jackfruit trees very a lot in cold tolerance.

Thanks, shot, yes, these were exposed to the cold. Is there anything special I should do for them, or just let them be? I'm seeing some new growth on other seedlings. Still, two others were beheaded by rabbits or squirrels GRRRR. Thanks!

They are very vigorous and will probably send up a new leader.
