Those are not little fruits on the outer branches. They are the male flowers full of pollen. After a few days of shedding pollen they dry up and drop off.

Jackfruit was primarily grown for wood and food. In India it used to be available in the months of March to June. Can be cooked raw. Seeds are high in protein too.

Wish I could grow Jackfruit trees in central west texas. The "unripe" fruit is an amazing tasting meat substitute. I buy the canned jackfruit to make "pulled pork BBQ", "sweet & sour chicken", "cashew chicken". It's an amazing meat substitute that is just jam packed with nutrients. I hope this lady knows what a gold mine she has growing in her yard!

I know south Florida should grow more of these tropical trees and export it to other states.

Beautiful tree. Must be nice to be able to grow tropicals like this!

Such a good looking tree. Wow

I have seen pruning videos on this tree....from what I was told...the more you prune, the more they fruit, but, the shade aspect of the tree is nice too....I bet it keeps the house cooler in the summer..🤙

I wish I could have one raw jack fruit. Love it. Love it.

Green jakfruit can be used as a pulled pork replacement. Good luck!

I one time purchased a jack fruit at my grocery store. I live in an area that can't sustain a jack fruit tree because of the cold winters and not being tropical. The fruit I purchased was imported and about 12 pounds and costed 20 to 25 dollars. I had so much jack fruit from that 12 pound fruit that I had to refrigerate and put some in the freezer. I roasted most of the seeds in the oven and planted a couple in a pot to be a house plant. The seeds are great roasted in the oven and the fruit overall was delicious and I recommend trying it. It seemed like I got more fruit than actual rind on the jack fruit.

I love Jack Fruit ! !You can roast the seed and eat also, it is delicious !

I actually have like a 4-foot tall Sapling that my friend gave to me. I'm hyped to plant it and get fruits from it!

Great video, I'm growing my own from the seeds. Thank you.

I know this variety of jackfruit, it's vary common in Northeast India,it grows more fruit of smaller size but annual pruning of branches needed, my father prune the tree every year

Jackfruit is in Africa too I love the video ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Seera, I really like your hair. I heard people saying jackfruit is hair food and I should include it in my diet to improve my hair quality. God bless you, I really like this video ❤

Congrats for your Care so Beautifull yours plants , of Jack fruit and Monstera Deliciosa

jackfruit is the national fruit of Bangladesh...

Roasted jackfruit seeds taste just like chestnuts.

Oh,,there's so many jackfruit here in Bohol Phillipines I'm amaze many too in US ..thank you this video And more power😁🎸👍

I'll climb that tree with a big ladder and cut off those fruit off for a share of some of them! also located in South FL, Miami to be exact. ^.^ throwing it out there since she said she wouldn't.

I just planted one in my yard. I think I'll be thinning the fruit when the time comes so not to have so many malformed ones.

My neighbor in Auburndale FL ( central FL, located between Orlando and Tampa/Winter Haven & Lakeland) has a large jack fruit tree amongst other exotic tropical trees.

Wow, such an abundance. Thanks for sharing. :)

Filipinos would love to have you as neighbor :).

Sarah and Chuck you can build a platform or tree house around the tree to get your fruit down.

Well, Josette and I planted one of these in our yard in Puna. Fingers crossed, hoping we have a good tasting fruit in a few years or so. I am going to keep ours pruned though. If it doesn’t work, I we can always cut it down and compost it.

How lucky to have a Jackfruit tree in your front yard

Don't till they are ripe. Pick them when the are just big. Few days later at home taste crunchy. Love to see it growing so big.

It's an amazing fruit. Sweet and delicious

That’s a beautiful tree

Looks to be cempadek not jackfruit. I prefer cempadek since more sweet and fragrant. Cempadek are more expensive. You have a gold mine.

I am so jealous. If I can get my hands on some seeds im going to try and hide some from frost in a forest

Thats an amazing tree!

Origin of Jackfruit tree is the southern state of India called Kerala.

wow! it bears so many fruits.

Wow, those are great for curry!

I have planted this tree 5-6 yrs ago and it started to make fruit from last year .. But they couldn't grow big . It truns brown and dries out . Same thing happening this year so please help me findout what is the reason for that to happen

cover the jackfruit with unused clothes to prevent fruit flies. keep one from one group.

My guesses with the problem with your jack fruit not getting really big before it fall off is, the tree need a good prune to allow air flow through the tree; a quick look at the ground it looks damp and the trunk looks like it has moss or mould growing on it. From my experience, trees that get too much water will drop fruit and struggle. It's like the tree is drowning..So let the ground dry out once in a while but not for too long.

You can find if the fruits are ripened by just smelling it

yeah we can boiled the seed, it's taste good

try too plant 'cempedak' it's other varities of jackfruit, cempedak is more sweeat more jusy more smell than jackfruit..in Indonesia jackfruit called 'nangka'

These trees are known to be productive 100 years in India

Why not mulch tree, that grass is taking most of any nutrients and water from feeding tree. Jackfruit will fruit if cared for when trunk is 2-3 inches here in Clearwater Florida

What do you use to feed it? How do you care for it? Please let me know, because I like my tree to produce like your. Thanks

Roasted seeds are very good

Huge Jackfruit Tree

She made a great decision!

In my country we see 3 feet large jackfruits

I would love to buy some

Wow, thank you.

Nice jackfruit!

Hi is this seed grown or grafted? My tree a young 3 year old seems to have developed leaf curl

The ones that turn black and fall off are male flowers that pollinate… the females grow 👍

$8-9 a kilo. One average fruit would weigh around 7 kilos

We can buy some want it ripe or green one is fine can make jackfruit jam too

I saw Jackfruit in the Rainforest of Australia

If it's young unripened fruit you can use it as a meat substitute. Look up canned young jackfruit in water. It's very expensive in America.

I have a jackfruit but I wanted to know how far can I plant it in my yard for my house

Those are the make flowers that fall off

I think the lady said it started bearing fruit its sixth year could be wrong though that sounds about right

i'm jealous.trying to grow it in Arizona,not such great results

It is known as Chakka in Kerala, home of jackfruit

Hey David, I’ll buy from her if she sells them. Please let me know thanks.

The small 'fruits' which fall off are most likely the male flowers. Thy look the same or similar to the female flowers but are smaller.

That's not a jackfruit tree it's a cempedak related to jackfruit and breadfruit

what do you do with so many jackfruits?

Wow

Beautiful tree!!! Are you willing to sell some of your fruit? I live in Boca Raton and would love to stop bye and buy some.I love the video!!!

if I plant my tree by the house 20 feet away how far the roots are growing

We just cut off 95% Lee Chi fruits from the plant. They are tasted sweet. We also have three small Jack Fruit plants. I am worry about how to grow Jack Fruits around my back yard. I believe that each plant takes 10 feet in diameter, right?

What’s up with the civic? Cool car

I guess Florida is as humid as southeast Asia.......Jack fruit is a southeast asian native fruit........

Salam dari petani nangka indramayu

take the shell off the seed and cook it like a tiny potato. They taste like little potatoes?

How big does the fruit get?

It seems that she doesn't really eat the fruit

I wander if this "unknown" product is now produced just in small farms and homes. I just saw some in the store weighting 25& ! Monsanto smell, and in a few years I would like to say , " i was wrong".

Can you keep these pruned to a more manageable size?

Man...I'd be afraid to walk under that tree!

where did you get the tree form?

boiled jack fruit seeds are good.

how far from my house can I plant a jackfruit

great video. is the fruit good. never had one.

I just ate a few seeds of jack fruit

Sara…do you have a breadfruit tree that I can get? IJA

I have a small 8 foot tree, that seems to produce just male flowers that rot away, is my tree too small to produce actual females, cause the flowers I have don't come from the trunk but branches? Thanks if anyone has any suggestions , thanks

Isn't jackfruit root invasive? Isn't it a threat to your water/ sanitation line or your driveway? Is it a good idea to big tree like this in the front yard?

Where in South Florida? city or county please? how old was the tree when it first produced and actual edible fruit?

lucky Newton wasn't sitting under one of those trees.

Quick..... Put up a 10' fence in front of your yard.... And keep Asians away from that tree.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Are people welcome to buy a few from her?

i had honda civic just like the one in the background....LOL

so what does it taste like??? from the comments I read it's more of a vegetable the way it is used?

how many years to grow biger?

Do you sale jackfruit? I am interested have one!

Here in Brazil there are many jackfruit trees! Especially in many public parks and school gardens! Sometimes they fall to the ground when its are so ripe! Check out the ones I filmed with my cell phone: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b0-c39Odfec.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XhicxmJ0nJg.html
