Enjoy the taste of the tropics with your very own grafted Jakfruit tree! This tree, shipped in a 3-gallon pot, is approximately 2 to 3 feet tall and ready to plant. Jakfruit trees are known for producing the largest fruit that grows on trees, with typical fruits weighing between 10 and 35 lbs. Imagine harvesting your own sweet and delicious fruit right from your backyard. The grafted jakfruit tree offers a unique growing experience.

The fruit from this tree has a deep green, studded outer rind and boasts dark orange flesh that is both sweet and crunchy. The flavor is often described as a delightful combination of mango, banana, pineapple, and cantaloupe, reminiscent of juicy fruit gum. You can enjoy the fruit fresh, or use it in a variety of culinary creations. Orange Crush Jakfruit can be cooked green and used as a vegetable, boiled, fried, grilled, roasted, or prepared with sauces. Even the mature seeds can be used in dishes. The interior pulp, surrounding glossy seeds, offers a flavor explosion.

These trees thrive in USDA Zones 9 to 11 when planted directly in the ground. However, gardeners in Zones 4 to 11 can also enjoy them by planting them in large pots and bringing them indoors during the coldest months. With partial shade to full sun exposure, your tropical fruit tree will generally start producing fruit within 3 to 5 years after planting in the ground. The trees can be pruned annually to maintain a manageable size of 12′ x 12′, while still producing up to 200 lbs of fruit per year. This makes it a manageable and rewarding addition to any garden.
