Jackfruit 'Yellow' Seedling

This is the typical yellow jackfruit commonly found in markets. It is not a named selection but from small-medium sized good tasting fruit, also being our cheapest jackfruit seedling. 

• Yellow flesh
  
• Crunchy texture
  
• Unknown variety origin, seed collected from approx. 8 kilo fruit.
  
• Plants are approximately 20-30cm above the PB3 bags.
  

I am happy to give any advice needed and will supply growing recommendations. These are currently being grown in an Auckland greenhouse so should be either put inside, in a greenhouse (unheated will do), or outside in a location sheltered from excess rain. Move the plant outside to a sunny location for Spring and it will grow rapidly. Always protect young seedlings from the risk of frost.

Jackfruit are known to grow well on the warmer side of the North Island and I am aware of trees fruiting in Tauranga, Auckland, Whangarei and of course the Far North. If you are in a colder area then it is best to keep these grown in a container but otherwise should be suitable to plant in the ground (in a well draining spot) after a couple years of container growing. The main key to their survival is to protect from frost and make sure their roots aren't saturated over winter, much like growing an avocado. Seedlings do not always grow true to type but are generally very similar.
