Re: My Backyard Jackfruit Tree
Cool.. I spent alot of time in the Philippines when I was in the military. They had jackfruit growing everywhere.. in front of public buildings etc.. seemed random people would just adopt a tree when it was fruiting, and care for the tree, bag the fruit etc.. It always amazed me that nobody ever seemed to steal the fruit from the one who cared for it.. dont try that here in the US! Can you imagine growing a long maturing fruit like bananas or jackfruit on a public street or in front of city hall.. No doubt it would be gone at the first sign of ripe!

Re: My Backyard Jackfruit Tree
Fall update on the jackfruit..... need to trim the oak to allow for more sun. Growing slowly. It does get pretty much full sun in summer, but the oak tree perfectly blocks the rays from the slanting sun in winter. I thinned out the last one left that I planned to remove. Only one is growing now...

Re: My Backyard Jackfruit Tree

it will be interesting to see the progression do you know which variety? mine has flowered and made small fruit a couple times but it is way too small to support a big fruit.. it will be many years i would assume |

Re: My Backyard Jackfruit Tree
that should have read: in no time oops
i am not sure what variety i have either not sure of the age of mine.. think i bought it around 8 yrs ago? the fruits would start to grow but eventually fail to thrive and then shrivel and rot it has a hard time with the cold as you can see by the dead top but seems happy enough at the moment |

These places DO still exist, but they are getting fewer and farther between. It's a shame too, because only a generation ago, this WAS America. Great memories though. Special thanks to all of the ice holes who drive off without paying for your gas. Now, we all have to try and guess how much we need and pay for it first. In the small towns on the way to my cabin, you still pull in, pump your gas and then pay. One day, we will return, but not as long as our borders are wide open. End of post, before I say too much.

Re: My Backyard Jackfruit Tree
Spring jackfruit update! Still getting mostly shade, although I trimmed the oak tree a lot. It is getting a little bit of morning sun though. It should be getting full sun soon though.
