Jackfruit is Fruiting 18 Months From Seed! 

My favorite fruit! I grew up with 3-5 jackfruit trees around our house. Me & my siblings always look forward to my dad cutting the big jackfruit, all of us sitting around our kitchen table with our hands greased up!

Jackfruit: king of the fruit. I grow up with south east asian fruit, just by looking at the jackfruit tree with its jackfruits makes me feel so happy!!

Cheers mate, more people need to understand that growing fruit trees from seed is not a waste of time. Awesome buddy :)

Thank you so so much for getting back I appreciate it and I’m sure I’m going to try

I sought out a video of jackfruit trees and I'm so glad I found this one! My little tree I grew from a seed has little fruits on it! Shes barely two years old and only five feet tall.We had been getting rain for the past two days,so I was not able to look at her,so imagine my surprise when I looked at her yesterday and saw fruits roughly the size of the tip of my thumb! This is so cool👍

Get'r fixed! Glad you're fixing it up. I know that tore you up. Great learning experience though man. Its a journey! Great work on the new found channel and passion for it. I'm really enjoying and obviously I'm not alone :) ya'll are killing it!

Congratulations on early fruiting/flowing emerged from the Seeded JACK plant. Amazing..

This was the video that got me real hyped to grow jakfruit. i bought seedlings shortly after watching from echo farms. Two out of four are starting to flower now! Thanks pete for Inspiration!

2:17 shows the flowers. Will be planting my first seeds this week. Thx for showing the potential of sooner than three years fruiting

I’m here from the agroforestry video. I’m really inspired and trying to grow jackfruit in California thanks for great videos any information helps especially on soil and fertilizers

Congratulations Pete! Hopefully the male and female flowers will set well and not fall off, that is so COOL! Ya know the first State to welcome Jackfruit(Yaca here) in Mexico was tropical, coastal Nayarit, then next door in Sinaloa Jackfruit was established, but since the clime up here on the central plateau gets a bit chilly during winter and the distance(curvy, narrow roads from the coast to over here), we've finally been able to taste the "juicy fruit" Jackfruit. Hopefully since our clime is categorized as 'subtropical' once the baby seedling grows bigger, it can thrive as do mango, banana, avocado and papaya plants with no harm from the winter chill. :)

Hey Pete, Thanks for the enthusiasm you're creating in us. I have plant in a pot about 2 feet tall and more than a year old. Could you please advise on how to prepare planting in ground and fertilizer you used. Thanks in advance

I come from Australia as well (near Newcastle) & I have 3 of them growing as seedlings near the beginning of winter,I had 4 growing but 1 died either of getting wet roots or the roots outgrew the container I had it in ,therefore couldn't reach down & out any deeper to get water. I transplanted them into 250 mm pots after finding they outgrew the yoghurt pots that I've had them planted in,in the near future, I'll have somewhere to plant them in the ground hopefully, I have also ordered another seed to replace the plant which has died. Depending upon who you talk to,I live in a 11a climate zone as it almost never gets below 4 degrees celsius in the winter time now,go further inland & it's more like 10a or 10b, in Sydney for example, someone said it was too cold in winter time to grow jackfruit trees,apparently,they say if the temperature falls below 0 degrees celsius,mulching the tree can insulate the roots on a mature tree from getting frostbite. It's been a lot of years since the winter temperature has been around the 0 degree celsius mark,we've been having warmer winters & scorching hot summers in our area so the tropical plants have been starting to grow better for me,the climate zone is Cfa (humid subtropical) as it is near the Queensland border near where my father came from & his dad grew bananas,however, the annual rainfall there is greater where I am so down our way we need to water the plants more. I think our climate has changed from what it was 20 years ago because about 2 weeks before winter, the deciduous trees are just starting to shed their leaves so I think more tropical sorts of plants can be grown now,so we are still coming into Autumn. In April for example, the days were still like 32 degrees celsius which is very unusual to what the climate & weather was like 2 decades ago,that means that we have had a longer summer than what was once usual.

Thats awesome! I grew one from seed 6 foot tall in 8 months.

Great news! So glad to know seed to fruit is a successful proposition.... I have a Chico Sapote seedling I am counting on! Peter next time you prune your mangos please do a video. I have several mangos in limited space and need to keep them small... Your know how would be awesome

when your excited I get excited.. Awesome. Thats whats growin on.

Wow! Awesome! My already 9 years still not flowering yet.

That is so cool. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I have success from seedling Canistel like you have here with jackfruit!!

Thanks for giving me hope. I have one for a few years now. I've had to move it Three times. It just wasn't getting anywhere. He's happy where he is now but is not getting enough sun. I'll have to cut a tree that's over it. I'm sitting here with it few seeds in front of me. Just ate the fruit and needed to be educated on how to really grow them. Since you mentioned the sun, I've selected a spot. I hope mine comes as fast as yours. Thanks again. Hailing from Jamaica

Just started 150 seeds, need to build a green house now.

Exciting!! I’ve killed 2 young jackfruit trees in the last year. The next tree I think I’m going to grow from seed. Should I take a trip to homestead to get some jackfruit worth of seed saving? Where was your best jackfruit from?

Wow!!! Great job

Great video!!!! Keep it up.

I found a super ripe & delicious 1/4 jackfruit at my local grocer, and to my surprise 2 of the seeds germinated and are about 1 ft tall after a couple months. I am using miracle grow potting soil but I have been having issues with root rot with this soil. Is there a soil mix you can recommend for potted jackfruits? I really love these little trees and want them to survive because the mother fruit was so outstanding, better than any other jackfruit I ever had

Thats Dope, I just tried my 1st jackfruit ever today from a store and planted 3 seeds today in a pot. Im so excited

Congratulations and great job.

Thats cool man, congrats!

Wow that’s amazing Pete! I have a small seedling hopefully mine will turn out like that 😬 Hey quick question I’m thinking about buying a grafted variety of Jackfruit.. could you possibly recommend a couple good ones you’ve tired ? 😎 Thanks for all the great videos Pete! 🤙

Awesome!!!

Awesome! That’s some epic growth!!

Jackfruit smells so good.✌️

Thank you so much!

Wonderful bro.

Hi, I have a few questions about jack fruit. 1 Can you plant them in the shade, 2 can you cut them back to 2 meters to keep them shortish, may be even like a bush? Thanks,

I just started two jackfruit seeds they are already growing, about 3 inches tall. Wanted to know what are the chances my tree will make it? I live in Barcelona. But I can keep the tree indoors (we have panoramic windows and light all day ).

between Golden Pillow, Black Gold, Mai 1, and Mai 2 which one taste the best?

i threw some jackfruit seeds in my yard only one survied the thing it`s only like five months old it grew some type of peas like 5 any advice

Eu amo Jaca!! Estou tentando cultivar uma aqui em Idaho.

Just found a jackfruit at publix and planning on collecting some seeds to grow , never had one but sure giving it a try

Thank you for the information on the jackfruit in your video. I live in Orlando Florida and have a small 1800 sq ft greenhouse in Liwonde, Malawi Africa. My mission is to grow out. Then plant 40,000 fruit trees in the villages around our compound. I find your video channel helpful. My commitment is to accomplish this with in a 4 year period.

Hi how are you? I was just wondering where you find the fertilisers as I was trying to find it but they say they don’t have it. I live here in south east Queensland.

No way! That gives me hope! It’s been 4 years, I need to see if you have any updates

Hi could you let me know at what rate does jackfruit grow monthly from seedling?

I've seen you talk about the jack frost jackfruit you have outside, where can I get one?

I can handle anything you can throw at me. Your channel is awesome.

Wow that is amazing. I’m trying to grow Jackfruit from a seed. Mine are small in containers and survived frost but dropped leaves. What kind of soil do you recommend? Slightly acidic or not?

Gosh Pete please send me some suggestions of select fruit & flowering trees your nursery has that i can grow here in the tropical island of Barbados West Indies. I will find out the necessary documents we will need to ship obviously when Covid 19 issues settles. I just learnt about the Pulasan it looks delicious

Amazing mine hasn't fruit yet, I'm waiting patiently

Nice , Keep it UP

Excellent, I have a six months old tree in uk

How is your Jackfruit doing now did you get full size fruit?

I’ve got two 3 year old jackfruits one unpruned, close to 20 foot high, the other has been pruned to about 10 ft. Pruned maybe ten times now and it is holding 2 fruits, already had one small sized fruit about 10 inches then it fell off.

THANKS YOU SIR, ANYBODY CAN ADVISE ME WHICH FERTILIZER NEED FOR FRUITING JACKFRUITS TREE? I HAVE 5 YEARS OLD STILL NOT GIVING FRUITS

Hi there. I have 3 jackfruit plants from seed, 4 months old and healthy. I live in UK and have a green house. Will mine fruit? Did yours fruit and was it tasty? Great video and dying to know if that flower produced a fruit for you! You are so lucky.

Can you tell me if their roots are spread out. I have one growing near the side of the house aprox 7ft from the wall just didnt want issues with the foundation.

Mine did the same thing, all of the flowers molded and fell off except for one that is fattening up now.

What kind of wizardry did you use to make a jackfruit tree grow that large in 18 months?

Is it a sweet crunchy variety? How can I get some seeds or branches? What variety is it.

Did you ever get fruit? My four year old jackfruit is flowering now in Dunnellon Florida. I think the problem with jackfruit in Florida is when it flowers and sets fruit which is fall and early winter.

great video =)

AMAZING!

i watched your video and planted in 2019 now i harvested jackfruit in turkey .

Great! How did you prepare the soil? Would love to know!

Pete new subscriber here in Sarasota! I also have Jackfruit from seed. Best planing placement in your opinion? Full sun well drained soil?

Not trying to rain on your parade, but there is a variety of Jack Fruit that witll produce fruit in 18 months from the time seeds are planted. I am from a tropical contry originally and we have had the 18 month veriety growing on our property at least for the last 60 years that I can rememmber. In the 1970.s I was living in Micronesia and took several seeds from my mother country and planted them and they too start producing within 18 months. AS you may know there are two main verities of Jack fruit. One ceriety the pod is crunchy when they ripen and the other one is very soft when the pods are ripe. To my kowledge only the crunchy veriaty ptoduces fruit in 18 months.

Jackfruit is my most favorite fruit!

Hi Sir, what is your Jackfruit flowers in 18 months... I didn't find any update video on your seedling jackfruit tree after release of this video... Would like to see the today's position of it... Thanks🙏

Do these lose their leaves? I have about a 15ft tall tree and some of the leaves are browning and falling off...

I just order a plant hope it grows well

What plastic to use on a greenhouse?

Are they in pops or in ground

What climate zone do you live in? I’ve just planted my 1st jackfruit from seed and it is about 4-5 months old. Now since it’s winter the growth has stunted . Mine is about 2 ft tall and 4-5 mm wide. My zone is same s as Florida.

So if you are in FL I am in SC. My batch of seedlings died last winter, they were knee high. Do you think once they are 6' tall they would survive SC winter???

What zone in fl is your hoop house? Im in zone 10a- naples and just got some jackfruit trees. Just wondering what kind of temps you get in there mid- summer? Looks great and thank you for all the helpful tips!

Hey sir, any updates on that jackfruit??

Awesome video..what would you recommend if a small jackfruit tree is yellowing and the leaves are drying up?

Nice video brother

That's beautiful, and really fast to fruit from seed! I love jackfruit. In Brazil we have two types: 'hard' and 'soft' -I imagine additional varietals that I'm still unaware of exist in Asia. Out of curiosity, have you grown durian in Florida, and got fruit? (I realise that they're not as closely related to jackfruit as might appear, but they do both require warmth and humidity.)

How did you do did in Just 18 months?

Good job sir ji👍👌👌👌👌👌

I bought a jackfruit from Publix and got the seeds to sprout. I heard farmers deactivate the seeds for some produce does that mean mine wont ever bear fruit?

I’ve got one in the ground in FL going on 3 years now, and it’s half the size!

Is it possible to grow a jackfruit in a pot? Im in zone 6a and have to bring my Citrus trees inside this winter already but is this even an option for a fruiting sized jackfruit to bring indoors? Are they a deciduous tree?

Hi Pete. What OMRI 4-6-4 fertilizer do you use? And where can I find it in Central Florida?

Do you sell seeds of semi firm jackfruit but very sweet fragrant?

Can they grow well and fruit in containers their whole life?Thanks

Hi there Pete! Where are you located? All your trees look great..

I hope you see this but I’ve been growing jackfruit from seed for about 3-4 months and they are around a foot tall but recently some of the leaves have curled under and some are even brown what can I do?

I have never had jackfruit. Do you and your family like the taste of Jackfruit.

Hi, I have I year old jackfruit from seeds but couple of leaves have curl up.please advise thanks..

Do y'all have a "different type of 9B" 30 miles north of Tampa than we have here in Altamonte Springs? What I mean to say is, it seems that your area gets colder, some how. I know that Tampa Bay got COLD (not freezing but, damn!) during the 10 years I lived there 1985-1995. In Altamonte, Winter 2020, we had three one-hour each, below 34, on the border of freezing. Messed my Travelers' Palms the worst. The Sapodilla didn't like it but, are fine by April.

Hi do you sell the jackfruit trees ?

how tall is it?

Greetings.. I'm growing jackfruit frm seeds myself for fun...how long does it usually take before it fruit? Great information and thanks for sharing

I had a beautiful jack fruit in a pot growing beautifully here in central Florida, until I planted in the soil in my backyard and last winter it died frozen...I almost cried.

Curious to know what growing zone are you in?

where can i get a plant

Do you know what variety the seed came from?

Can you please tel us what is te type of seeds you planted because there are may types of jack fruits they say and how is your plant doing today?

Those flower buds are not the fruit which grow on the trunk and large branches (it's certainly a good sign though, and exciting). It's been 9 months since you posted this. Any luck on actual fruit developing?
