Pruning Jackfruit 

Thank you so much :) I followed every guide in your channel since 2014 and now I'm harvesting my own jackfruit with healthy/good quality fruit. Thank you so much.

Goats love the jackfruit leaves, it’s well balanced for their feeding. Thanks for the pruning advice

So glad I found this video, it’s August now, time to prune.

Thank you so much for all the information in this video. I have 3, 6 inch seedlings and was not sure how to take care of them. I appreciate all the great tips ! 😊

Thanks, I get the idea that fruit trees needs to be prune for better growing and fruiting, which when I was young we never do it in our farm. So our jackfruit does not fruit well, although there is one that grows like a mango tree tall, and had made so much fruit in one season, about 10 fruits max. only. The good thing is the wood is a hard wood that we can use it for making columns for ordinary homes in the farm. We did cut one tree due to old age.

Thank you for answering D Campbell. I just received my jackfruit from the plant nursery, so i'm happy to get the green light from you.

I love my jack fruit tree i need to know how to take care of it thanks for sharing this post

That is one beautiful tree!!!!

i have many jackfruit planted, about 50 trees because i love them eating a lot, but at the same time my family is making money out of that giant and delightful fruit, i love them growing low,love to see the fruits hanging in every branch of it

Thank you. So much information and clearly presented.

Wow. Great information. Just planted some seeds from the most delicious Jackfruit I've ever tasted.

Dr. Richard, I currently have some jackfruit seedlings. I would like to know when I should start pruning it. Is it similar to pruning mango? If the jackfruit bears fruit on the trunk, how tall should I let the jackfruit grow before pruning it?

In one part of the video, you mentioned that we should only do it during the wet and warm season, but then you mentioned September, October and November. In Central Florida, it is so dry and no rain.

Wow , this is a great video, very informative, thanks for sharing my friend 💕💕👍

nice video richard

Thank you bro...it really helpful tips.😎

I started a jack fruit plant from seed and had it in a pot for awhile, but it wasn’t growing great. It wasn’t dying, but not growing either. It was in a self watering pot. I just planted it in the ground today and noticed the soil was really wet. Could that have been why it wasn’t growing, because the soil was to wet? Also, do I need to fertilize it?

Would an avocado be able to be pruned to 10’ as well? Also do avocados like that open trunk base? Thanks

I respect and love to you and your pruning system,,original appropriate theory of jackfruit.

Hi, last season I cut the height of the vertical trunk of our jackfruit tree and this season it is showing signs of rot from the top of the cut trunk to about 3 inches down. Is it okay to leave it like that? I would appreciate your advice.

What kind of soil conditions does jackfruit prefer and do the needs lots of water or can they tolerate drought

What is the spacing between trees?? and how many months required to be fruiting in the tree??

useful video thank you....what would be useful is to maybe include a drawing or show in the video what exactly "old spurs" look like and where they are located since the examples in the video seem to be the very obvious whispy looking branches which I really don't see in our tree...or maybe I just need to wait for it to become so? (our jackfruit tree still has fruit on it at the moment so maybe the "spurs" are still small and not quite obvious yet) Also, do you remove all the water sprouts?

I bought my jack fruit tree (J-31) from Fairchild around 9 years ago and never trimmed it. The base is already very open and I get easily 30 or more jack fruits a year. I would like to cut my 15-20 foot tall and 25 ft wide tree way back then keep it trimmed annually. I don't mind missing fruit for one year. Will I harm permanently by doing such an extreme cut? With the extreme cut I have in mind, I basically would cut off almost all the leaves and just have branches.

Can you do the same thing with Durian?

Thank you for your video. How big the area that I can grow a jack Fruit plant?

Dr.Richard, What kind of fertilizer is for jack fruit tree? How much and how offen do you give to the plant? Thanks so much!!!

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,

for a while there I thought I was watching a talking tree

Wow. Good video. Thank you...

Very nice video....that only took you a couple minutes...thank you for the tips...that is easy😄🤙

I'd like to plant a few of these. For 10 FT tall trees, how far would you space them apart please? Gracias!

I love the Jackfruit but I have a question if I plan one of those trees on my yard I wanted to know how big the roots are growing and how far from the house we can plant it because in the future I don't want to have problems on my Foundation

What is the smallest width you recommend going on the canopy? We want to grow a jackfruit but tend to keep our fruit trees slightly smaller in width than the one in the video. Thank you.

Dr Campbell, I was wondering if you could advise me on this. Since jackfruit form fruit on the main trunk and large branches, if i tip prune a young plant at 1-2 feet off the ground, let it form 3 or 4 main branches/trunks and then prune it as you have demonstrated thereafter, would i get better cropping? I am very tempted to have a smaller tree that has multiple well placed trunks with 1-2 fruit on each.

can you propagate the jack fruit from branches?

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Good... Thanks for sharing

Very nice tree

We have a jack fruit they are already old they're still bearing fruits their stem is so big...

Thank you. Very well presented and most informative. If the fruit grows on the trunk then why are mine growing on the branches?

Is this pruning happening in January? I have a tree that has small fruit on it, AND it's feeling a little too tall for storm season... if I take it down to 10 feet will it drop the small fruit and have a die back year?

I'm glad I saw this video. Is there a variety of Jackfruit that you recommend for high productivity on a commercial level?

Great video! What would you say is wrong if my small jack’s leaves are yellowing and drying up?

How much pruning is safe while the tree is loaded with fruit? I'd like to let some sunlight in.

Hi Dr Richard, I would like to get some advice from you on the above matter, when pruning the jackfruit tree, what is the ideas percentage of sunlight penetration after pruning? It is suitable to pruning the tree when fruiting?

i love jackfruit

Thanks for usefull tips.

In hawaii, the fruits ending around in May, and the weather getting hot star from June, is it good time to do the pruning? You did mentioned the month Aug, Sept and Oct are the good months to do the pruning, but art these month already had the fruits hanging?

Dr. Richard, I have a jackfruit tree planted about a year and half ago and don't see any growth at all, it hasn't died but it is just sitting there. I had planted it properly with lots of compost and nice organic rich native soil. You had mentioned, its a vigorous tree and something is not right if its not growing, appreciate any advice or inputs for me to look into.

hello dr richard am from the philippines..i have a tree age more or less 5ys and its bearing fruit now..what is the right time to prune it in our hot philippine climate..thank you

Maureen, what is a good planting distance between these trees? I heard that if planted too close, no fruits will develop.

How invasive are jackfruit tree roots? Will they raise a concrete driveway? If so, what's the recommended planting distance from a driveway.

One question please.. Growing the Jack fruit from one seed, then does it need grafting in order to generate fruits ?? this is an essential question to answer it for me and other readers who are watching your video. Thanks indeed.

Do we need to shorten the trunk of the tree?

Do you use the leftover branches or leaves for the tree to use for food ?

You didn't appear to oil your tools, Richard. Should I do so when pruning mine?

I am from Southern part of India and I have this huge 7 to 8mts tree. Every time fruit grows a little and dries off, what should I do? I will cut off dried branches and see if it helps. Your suggestions in this regard will be appreciated.
