Starting Jackfruit from Seed the Super Easy Way

While in Florida this time I started some jackfruit from seed and planted a few trees before I left. In this video, I demonstrate the super simple process and reveal some tidbits about this delicious tropical fruit. In only 2-3 years you can have a jackfruit tree that produces fruit if conditions are right.

Thanks for sharing. I just got 2 jackfruit trees growing. Threw the seeds in the ground for as fertilizer for my roses but they grew anyway. Took me a few months to realize that they are jackfruit trees. Pleasant surprise.

Loved this video, I live in West Central Florida and I have lemongrass, Moringa trees, loquat tree, tons of herbs and sweet potatoes, and a banana tree, summer time is really the hardest time to garden here, you just need to know what to grow when, I think I need to add jackfruit to my garden, thanks for sharing, 🌱🌱🌱🌱

Dan, thanks for the great tips and pictures. I got a JackFruit after this video (near San Francisco) and put the seeds in a bottom heat pad for germinating plants. They germinated in 7-9 days. My medium is 100% pumice as I have been using that for many of my plants for nearly 30 years. I plan to move these into regular soil mix and greenhouse over the winter. I grow on the SF Peninsula which Zone 10a (a little cooler). This was my first time tasting jackfruit and I liked it. I try to push tropical plants in my marginal climate. Thanks for the ideas.

Enjoy the lovely StPete weather while you still can. You're old stomping grounds, Ohio, is getting anywhere from 2-6 inches of snow overnight. 😎 Gotta love the Midwest.
I've always wondered about the jackfruit. I've seen them in stores. I'll have to pick one up and try it.

Great video, Dan. I completely understand how warm winter weather is important.

My goal is to set up a tropical greenhouse and jackfruit is on my list of things to try in it. I hear that they can handle pretty aggressive pruning, at least.

If you like Jackfruit, you’ll love Longans. You have to try it. Longans and Rambutans. Mangosteens are also very delicious and rare to find-tastes similar to Lychee but so much fruitier (probably the best).

Wish things like this would grow back here in Missouri. But yah winters are quite chilly. This last one was ❄ for sure. Good to see more vids 👍

Great to see you back Dan, Jackfruit is used in a few vegan recipes as its said to take up flavours pretty well. Never actually tried it but I think its available in tins.

Try to make jackfruit pickle it's very delicious. 😅

Its related to Mulbery. they come from same family. Secondly you cook it like potatoes if the fruit is raw.

What’s going on ?? 🧐
I have been talking about jackfruit over the phone .... I hang up and see something about jackfruit in notification and for a moment thought big brother has been listening in .! I soon realised its one of your videos and your not big brother or big sister 🥴😂

I'm watching this because I bought a piece of Jack fruit and paid $30 Aud it was 1kg I know you can cook and eat the seeds "taste like chestnut" but I wanted to see if I could grow my very own Jack fruit tree from the seeds I saved.

ITS VEGETABLE WHEN UNRIPE AND FRUIT WHEN RIPE. SEEDS ARE EDIBLE
