When to prune Jackfruit based on my climate
« on: October 22, 2021, 01:10:26 PM »
I got a jackfruit last year that was about 2.5ft tall, planted it in the ground and it took off and grew to maybe 6-8 feet before the dry season here. It wanted to grow still in the dry season but because of the wind here it was stunted, the leaves were shriveled and burnt but it kept at it and when the rainy season started again it took off again and is now maybe 12-15 feel tall. I want to take the lead down a couple feet and let it get wide but I want some advice of when to do it. The dry season will start here again in a month or two, along with strong winds. Would it be better to take it down now or should I let it ride out the dry season and cut it when the rains start up again?

My instinct tells me to wait but someone here would have more experience to answer the question for me. Here are some pictures

Here's a shot from when I bought it. It was on August 20 2020
