How many years does it take for a jackfruit tree to bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Jackfruit Trees

Jackfruit prefers a high temperature, humid, frost-free environment. It is suitable for growing in areas with an annual average temperature above 22-24 degrees, an average temperature of the coldest month above 12 degrees, an absolute low temperature not lower than 0 degrees, an accumulated temperature above 7500 degrees, and an annual rainfall of 1200 to 1800 mm.

Jackfruit is suitable for planting in October-November in autumn. The temperature is suitable at this time. Planting jackfruit in this period is conducive to the recovery of damaged roots. Jackfruit trees can grow for 100 years, and the productivity of the tree decreases with age.

Jackfruit has been introduced and cultivated in Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Fujian and Yunnan of China. There are many varieties of jackfruit, which are divided into two types according to the taste of the flesh: "wet-packed variety" and "dry-packed variety".

How many years does it take for jackfruit trees to bear fruit?

Jackfruit seedling trees bear fruit in 6-8 years. Jackfruit has a wide adaptability to soil, but it is best planted in acidic soil with deep soil layer, fertile and loose structure, good drainage and rich in nutrients. It can also grow normally in slightly alkaline clay or sandy loam.

Grafted Jackfruit Tree Blooms and Bears Fruit

Grafted jackfruit will start to bear fruit 5 years after planting. If the maintenance environment is poor, it will take longer. The specific time depends on the variety, climate of the planting site and maintenance.

Potted Jackfruit Tree with Fruit

How long it takes for a potted jackfruit tree to bear fruit is closely related to the maintenance environment. If the maintenance environment is suitable for its growth, it will bear fruit in about 5 years, but if the maintenance is not very good, it will take 8 or 10 years.

Why doesn't the jackfruit tree bear fruit?

The reason why the jackfruit tree does not bear fruit may be that the tree lacks nutrients and needs to be supplemented with fertilizers in time. It may also be that the tree grows too vigorously, resulting in dense leaves and a decrease in the number of flowers, affecting the fruiting. It may also be that the fruiting time has not yet arrived, so just be patient and wait.

Key points for high-yield planting of jackfruit trees

Flower thinning: When the jackfruit tree has too many flowers, the densely growing female flowers should be thinned out to reduce nutrient loss and increase fruit set rate.

Fruit thinning: About one month after the jackfruit tree has bloomed, only small fruits that are well pollinated and fertilized are selected and the rest are thinned out.

Fruit protection: Jackfruit trees need to strengthen soil moisture management and keep the soil slightly moist. During the fruit development period, pay attention to checking and preventing diseases and pests that harm the fruit.
