The Jackfruit tree is in the fig family and produces edible fruits and seeds. The largest fruit in the world, they can weigh over 100 pounds. Trees typically take 3 - 4 years to flower from seed; we had a two year old flower and start producing 1 fruit. It fell off at 3" due to neglect but the tree probably wouldn't have been happy if it got to 80 pounds. A mature jackfruit tree can produce about 100 to 200 fruits in a year. Often used in Western culture as a meat substitute due to its meaty texture. Can grow 50 - 70 feet tall. Hardy through zone 10, zone 9 with protection. Easy tub plant indoors where freezing temperatures occur. Comes in a gallon pot.
