Jack Fruit(Artocarpus heterophyllus) for your Edible Garden in Florida
Jack Fruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) for your Edible Garden in Florida
 
Common name is Jackfruit and the scientific name is Artocarpus heterophyllus. It is the national fruit for the countries of Bangladesh and Indonesia. Many Asians in Florida plant the tree in their edible garden.
 

 
We met a Vietnamese friend living in Sarasota Florida that has this ten year old jack fruit tree which he planted when he bought the house.  The biggest fruit he had harvested weighed 50 pounds, and the smallest weighed 30.
 
He also showed us several about twenty feet of the ground, but the branches made it hard to get a good pictureof them.
 

 
 
Jackfruit Tree
 
In Malaysia and Indonesia they call it Nangka. Jackfruit trees like tropical temperature and will damaged by cold weather when the tree is young. It has the biggest edible fruit of all trees. If the leaves or branches are broken, milky colored latex will flow down. The size of the oval shape dark green leave is about 4 inches width by 6 inches long. The tree may grow up to 30 – 50 feet tall.
