Daleys Special Deals - Jakfruit
Artocarpus heterophyllus
Jakfruit Seedlings - We have these Plants on a Super Special at present for the next month. We were unsuccessful using this batch as rootstock so we are now overstocked and need to sell them ASAP. A very handsome evergreen, reaching a height of 8 - 15 met... Read Moreres and bearing the worlds largest fruit. Fruits can weigh up to 20kg. Strong scent to the fruit but it is deliciously sweet, with tropical fruit flavours of banana and mango. It can be eaten fresh or dried. Very quick growing and usually starts fruiting in 4th year. A perfect start to a Food Forest in subtropical and even protected warm temperate regions, especially in spring and summer. Cincturing can help earlier fruiting. There is an old Sri Lankan proverb that says, with jakfruit and coconut in your backyard you will never starve. This is because every part of the jakfruit tree is useful. Unripe jakfruit can be cooked with chicken, fish and eggs, and ripe ones can be eaten as is or processed into drinks, jam, jelly or candy. The same applies to other parts of the tree such as the skin, leaves, flowers, wood and latex which have their own uses and benefits.
