Growing Conditions for All Jackfruit Varieties

Jackfruit requires a frost-free and well-draining location, whether that be in the ground in the North Island or in a container anywhere that is protected from frosts and excess rain. They do not always grow true to type but generally retain their parents characteristics.

Plants will be similar in height and appearance of the image shown. Because they are grown outside, there may be the odd blemish on a leaf, however I'll always pick the nicer of the lot before listing for sale.
