Tips to Grow Jackfruit:
- Arrange good quality of jack-fruit seeds.
- Or we can directly purchase budded/grafted plants that will start fruiting from 5-6 year onwards.
- Light, fast-draining potting soil is perfect. You can use fortified soils. It should be neither too wet nor too dry.
- Place your seeds in a bowl or container with lukewarm water. Let them sit for a full day before sowing them.
- Plant 3 seeds 1 inch deep in the soil. Don’t let the seeds grow near the edges, otherwise the roots may not develop fully.
- It will take 2-3 weeks for your seedlings to germinate. Remove the weaker seedlings by gently pulling them out of the soil and transplant.
- We can add compost or manure for better growth. We can mulch the plant, which retains the moisture and temperature.
- After the third or fourth year, your tree will begin developing viable fruit. Within 4 to 5 months, young fruit will begin to ripen and can be picked from the tree. They will have a sweet odor and have a green or yellowish tint.
