Mature jackfruit width?
« on: September 25, 2021, 02:07:19 PM »
Hi. I'm looking to plant a jackfruit on my property. I'd prefer gold nugget because the fruits are small and easy to clean. I want to plant it somewhere that accommodates it's size. I'm trying to figure out what the diameter would be when mature. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you decide to not trim it forever, and a hurricane doesn't do it for you, It can get massive 30-40 feet in a few decades. But that's unlikely. There are easier to clean jackfruit hybrids, Cenna for example, which is a jackfruit x champadek hybrid (champajack). They seem to be smaller, smaller fruit, and less latex, better tasting i've heard as well.  I have a two other champajack varieties coming from southeast asia soon. I haven't seen anyone with them in South Florida. Send me a PM if interested.

Thank you. Assuming I do trim it, what is a reasonable width at which it could be maintained in your opinion?
