Growing jackfruit trees in South Florida is not only possible, it can be profitable. I went and visited my friends Chuck and Sarah a couple of weeks ago and filmed their amazing front yard jackfruit tree. In their location near Fort Lauderdale, the jackfruit tree is quite close to the upper end of its range. Just a little further north and growing jakfruit would be basically impossible without protection or a very good microclimate. A big thanks to Sarah for sharing her jackfruit growing experience.

you can eat the jackfruit seeds of the overripe fruits. I and my cousin would put those jackfruit seeds in burning hays and when we smell something that is already cooking inside, we use sticks to bring those cooked jackfruit seeds and we eat them..
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.
The jackfruit It is available from February to November ( most common from April to September) in South Karnataka in India.
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!
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 bet it'll grow in Texas
im sure you can grow it in texas
Such a good looking tree. Wow
Yes - it's truly gorgeous.
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.
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.
Green jakfruit can be used as a pulled pork replacement. Good luck!
Wow, such an abundance. Thanks for sharing. :)
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!
Roasted jackfruit seeds taste just like chestnuts.
I wonder how sweet it is I'm thinking like cantaloupe

I love Jack Fruit ! !You can roast the seed and eat also, it is delicious !
Filipinos would love to have you as neighbor :).
Jackfruit is in Africa too I love the video ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great video, I'm growing my own from the seeds. Thank you.
How is your tree coming along
I just planted about 100 in pots, not sure what I am going to do with them yet, hope I can sell some. Central Florida
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.
Thats an amazing tree!
Congrats for your Care so Beautifull yours plants , of Jack fruit and Monstera Deliciosa
How lucky to have a Jackfruit tree in your front yard
wow! it bears so many fruits.
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
That’s a beautiful tree
It's an amazing fruit. Sweet and delicious
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
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
Wow, those are great for curry!
jackfruit is the national fruit of Bangladesh...
Oh,,there's so many jackfruit here in Bohol Phillipines I'm amaze many too in US ..thank you this video And more power😁🎸👍
Hi is this seed grown or grafted? My tree a young 3 year old seems to have developed leaf curl
Nice jackfruit!
Wow, thank you.
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.
+Thoughts In Passing That's excellent - I'm surprised they could pull it off that far north.
My girlfriend and I have 5 potted jackfruit plants doing well in southern Texas and we're crossing our fingers for full-blown trees! It's summer though so we'll see come winter lol
Luke Hebert I live in central west Texas and wish I could grow Jackfruit trees here. Was just wondering how y'all's trees did? I hope they did well for y'all.
@@lukehebert6207 How is your jackfruit trees doing now ?
@@priyajac2004 & Nasus Sdleihs, sorry for the late reply to everyone! I hate to say they all died slow and painful (for us) deaths at the hands of some unknown disease. The disease caused leaves to have brown spots and drop off one-by-one. Nothing in my botanical repertoir seemed to work, except neem oil which only delayed the disease progression. I wish I had a happier story to report, guys!
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.
Good luck. Get it through the first few years with protection. It can handle more cold as it gets larger.
Looks to be cempadek not jackfruit. I prefer cempadek since more sweet and fragrant.
Cempadek are more expensive. You have a gold mine.
Sarah and Chuck you can build a platform or tree house around the tree to get your fruit down.
Good idea.
Can you keep these pruned to a more manageable size?
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 ❤
Origin of Jackfruit tree is the southern state of India called Kerala.
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
Yeas
How big does the fruit get?
what do you do with so many jackfruits?
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".
how many years to grow biger?
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.
There is an art to determining ripeness - they're wonderful when they're just right. Thanks for stopping by.
She made a great decision!
I agree - the tree is gorgeous.
if I plant my tree by the house 20 feet away how far the roots are growing
They will grow a lot farther than you think - sometimes 50-100 feet; however, damaging roots are unlikely to be a problem if the tree is 20' away. You'll just get smaller feeder roots. I wouldn't worry about them.
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
It's probably too small so it's kicking off the fruit. Just wait for now.
We can buy some want it ripe or green one is fine can make jackfruit jam too
Huge Jackfruit Tree
I have a jackfruit but I wanted to know how far can I plant it in my yard for my house
15 yards
Good shade tree.
yeah we can boiled the seed, it's taste good
Where in South Florida? city or county please? how old was the tree when it first produced and actual edible fruit?
+William Curry Fort Lauderdale. I didn't get a clear answer on the first year it produced.
Thank you.
I live between Sarasota & Fort Myers, FL. Do you think a jackfruit tree would grow here?
Yes. I have seen a few in Tampa. So, it should grow well there.
cover the jackfruit with unused clothes to prevent fruit flies. keep one from one group.
I saw Jackfruit in the Rainforest of Australia
where did you get the tree form?
I think she got it from a local nursery. Skyke's Grove in Davie probably has them.
great video. is the fruit good. never had one.
Thanks. Yes, they taste amazing. Getting one open and processed is a bit of work thanks to the sap, but the flavor is incredible. One of the best in the world.
Yes!
You cut that outter skin off, everything else gets cubed up including seeds in a large pot. Add coconut milk, yellow Thai curry paste, chicken, salt and coriander and simmer low and slow.
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?
They can get much bigger than that. At least 40'
You can find if the fruits are ripened by just smelling it
Roasted seeds are very good
I would love to buy some
so what does it taste like??? from the comments I read it's more of a vegetable the way it is used?
kleineroteHex if you've eaten Juicy Fruit gum it tastes like that
good to know, I totally dislike juicy fruit flavor - but, if I get a chance I will try the real thing, just to make sure 😊
kleineroteHex The unripe fruit is neutral in flavor and is used as a meat substitute. The ripe fruit is sweet and is similar in flavor to bananas and plantains. Jackfruit is an amazing fruit. This lady has a gold mine growing in her yard!
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'
Here in Brazil, jackfruit is jaca! And there are two kinds of jaca: hard jaca and soft jaca!
Wow
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
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?
I wouldn't worry.
how far from my house can I plant a jackfruit
I recommend at least 20', if you have the space to spare. They grow big and fast. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for watching.
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
Good for you for trying, though!
Hey David, I’ll buy from her if she sells them. Please let me know thanks.
Do you think we can grow them in Vero Beach?
Jackfruit are very weather-hardy unlike a lot of other tropical fruits. You should be able to to grow them in Vero with no issue. They can survive and thrive even in temperatures that drop into the 30s. You can also prune the tree so they remain shorter and easier to pick (a good idea if you want to be able to easily harvest the fruit).
Jackfruit can thrive anywhere with humidity and temperate rainfall
When is jackfruit season here in Florida?
All year
Do you sale jackfruit? I am interested have one!
Sara…do you have a breadfruit tree that I can get? IJA
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!!!
+fggerv They might sell some - I can pass on your comment.
Thanks! that would be great!!
Do people steal your jackfruit? I ate the seeds once (boiled I think) and they were good.
No one steals it here but they do steal them in South Florida. The seeds are supposed to be good but I keep planting them instead of boiling them.
What’s up with the civic? Cool car
Can I buy some, or seeds or seedlings??
Asian markets sometimes have jackfruit.
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.
Eric Lieb About $2/can.
boiled jack fruit seeds are good.
Are people welcome to buy a few from her?
how old is it? the tree
Guessing about 12 years from what I heard
$8-9 a kilo. One average fruit would weigh around 7 kilos
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:

Will growing in Georgia work?
Not unless you have a big greenhouse. Jackfruit do not tolerate cold.
David The Good I guess I’ve gut a big greenhouse to make! Thank you!
Man...I'd be afraid to walk under that tree!
Yeah, you wouldn't want one of those monsters falling on you.
cookinmom they fall in parts .. Nature knows how to handle things
no these variety doesn't grow bigger fruit, it's a sub species
there are some species which grow 40 to 50 kilo weight fruit but taste is bad
this lady is growing the good variety
Haha jackfruit is a strong fruit that never fell of easily...
It is known as Chakka in Kerala, home of jackfruit
take the shell off the seed and cook it like a tiny potato. They taste like little potatoes?
In my country we see 3 feet large jackfruits
That's not a jackfruit tree it's a cempedak related to jackfruit and breadfruit
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.
I just ate a few seeds of jack fruit
I do like them cooked. Almost like boiled peanuts.
i had honda civic just like the one in the background....LOL
Those are the make flowers that fall off
