Artocarpus heterophyllus

1 of 2 seeds to have germinated 😊

Thanks @linfoster So far so good but somehow I cannot ever see it becoming a big tree with fruit on it unless I get a conservatory the size of Kew gardens! 😀

What is Jack Fruit,it's nice to learn something new everyday @jeatacake

@Chester14 It's a large & unusual fruit bearing tree from the tropics (Thailand in this case) similar to Durian if you have heard of it, but with much bigger fruits.

Thanks for the information @jeatacake

And hopefully less stinky than durian 😷

It is less smelly @susieg but much stickier. My hands were covered in latex-like goo from the fallen fruit when I was getting the seeds out of it, which took some washing off! 😁

Gosh, interesting. Maybe you can harvest the latex 😂🤗👍

👏👏

Yay for you! 👏👏👏

@jeatacake well done. They grow quite fast and have long taproot, make sure in deep pot. You can graft to these from 6 months, will fruit then in 2 years and can be kept containerised and smaller, otherwise this tree will get massive! Got a contact in Florida that can send you grafting cuttings from mature named fruiting trees 😎👍

@gjones It can get to 10 metres+ in its natural habitat. I have no idea how it will fare here, so we will just have to see!
