ISO jackfruit seeds from Gold Nugget. Others?
« on: March 25, 2022, 12:50:07 PM »
Hi folks! I’d like to experiment with some jackfruit seedlings. I’m especially interested in small-fruited, early ripening selections. I’ve been told Gold Nugget fits the bill. Are there others I should be aware of? If anyone has seeds that is willing to sell, or trade for, let me know. Thanks!

My grafted gold nugget jackfruit is neither small nor early fruiting.  I have to keep hacking it back it grows so fast, and has yet to flower.  I keep it at about 10ft tall and 6ft wide, but it reached this size in a year or two from planting

I’ve read it’s quite vigorous. I’m not concerned about a small tree. Just small fruits. Thanks for the info.

I'm trying an airlayer on mine. It fruits real well, it just needs more heat to ripen up the fruit properly. I just pruned it heavily to see if more sun can get to the fruit to heat it up.

I believe I have one and it has two fruits on it.
Problem is I ant tell when to pick the fruit.

OP, I could trade you seeds when I harvest the fruit, unless you already have seeds.

Yes I have fruit on the tree right now but it will still be a bit longer before they are ready to harvest.
