Sarah's Front Yard Jackfruit Tree in South Florida

Growing jackfruit trees in South Florida is not only possible, it can be profitable. I went and visited my friends Chuck and Sarah a couple of weeks ago and filmed their amazing front yard jackfruit tree. In their location near Fort Lauderdale, the jackfruit tree is quite close to the upper end of its range. Just a little further north and growing jakfruit would be basically impossible without protection or a very good microclimate. A big thanks to Sarah for sharing her jackfruit growing experience.

We have a lot of this fruit in Nayarit, Mexico.
I wish I could have one raw jack fruit. Love it. Love it.
I have seen pruning videos on this tree….from what I was told…the more you prune, the more they fruit, but, the shade aspect of the tree is nice too….I bet it keeps the house cooler in the summer..🤙
Will growing in Georgia work?
Wow
$8-9 a kilo. One average fruit would weigh around 7 kilos
You can find if the fruits are ripened by just smelling it
Does she sell them? Please have her email me at nicoleallmondjoy@gmail.com I am going vegan and I need her.
Huge Jackfruit Tree
Sara…do you have a breadfruit tree that I can get? IJA
Roasted seeds are very good
That’s a beautiful tree
Can you keep these pruned to a more manageable size?
Wow, thank you.
We just cut off 95% Lee Chi fruits from the plant. They are tasted sweet. We also have three small Jack Fruit plants. I am worry about how to grow Jack Fruits around my back yard. I believe that each plant takes 10 feet in diameter, right?
How big is the Jack Fruit tree in width?
It seems that she doesn’t really eat the fruit
I guess Florida is as humid as southeast Asia…….Jack fruit is a southeast asian native fruit……..
I one time purchased a jack fruit at my grocery store. I live in an area that can’t sustain a jack fruit tree because of the cold winters and not being tropical. The fruit I purchased was imported and about 12 pounds and costed 20 to 25 dollars. I had so much jack fruit from that 12 pound fruit that I had to refrigerate and put some in the freezer. I roasted most of the seeds in the oven and planted a couple in a pot to be a house plant. The seeds are great roasted in the oven and the fruit overall was delicious and I recommend trying it. It seemed like I got more fruit than actual rind on the jack fruit.
Do you sell them??
It is known as Chakka in Kerala, home of jackfruit
Looks to be cempadek not jackfruit. I prefer cempadek since more sweet and fragrant.
Cempadek are more expensive. You have a gold mine.
It’s an amazing fruit. Sweet and delicious
We can buy some want it ripe or green one is fine can make jackfruit jam too
i’m jealous.trying to grow it in Arizona,not such great results
Can I buy some, or seeds or seedlings??
Don’t till they are ripe. Pick them when the are just big. Few days later at home taste crunchy. Love to see it growing so big.
Thanks for watching.

How lucky to have a Jackfruit tree in your front yard
i had honda civic just like the one in the background….LOL
https://youtu.be/r7u9k8R56wo
Great video, I’m growing my own from the seeds. Thank you.
Beautiful tree. Must be nice to be able to grow tropicals like this!
I know south Florida should grow more of these tropical trees and export it to other states.
Are people welcome to buy a few from her?
Thats an amazing tree!
Quick….. Put up a 10′ fence in front of your yard…. And keep Asians away from that tree…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am so jealous. If I can get my hands on some seeds im going to try and hide some from frost in a forest
Wish I could grow Jackfruit trees in central west texas. The "unripe" fruit is an amazing tasting meat substitute. I buy the canned jackfruit to make "pulled pork BBQ", "sweet & sour chicken", "cashew chicken". It’s an amazing meat substitute that is just jam packed with nutrients. I hope this lady knows what a gold mine she has growing in her yard!
Well, Josette and I planted one of these in our yard in Puna. Fingers crossed, hoping we have a good tasting fruit in a few years or so. I am going to keep ours pruned though. If it doesn’t work, I we can always cut it down and compost it.
Jackfruit was primarily grown for wood and food. In India it used to be available in the months of March to June. Can be cooked raw. Seeds are high in protein too.
I just ate a few seeds of jack fruit
its amazing how a tiny seed can produce enough fruit to feed 10 villages
If they sell please let me know, I will buy
She made a great decision!
try too plant ‘cempedak’ it’s other varities of jackfruit, cempedak is more sweeat more jusy more smell than jackfruit..in Indonesia jackfruit called ‘nangka’

Here in Brazil there are many jackfruit trees! Especially in many public parks and school gardens! Sometimes they fall to the ground when its are so ripe! Check out the ones I filmed with my cell phone:
