Crispy Jackfruit (Seedling Selection – Extra Large Fruit)

Artocarpus heterophyllus

This seedling jackfruit variety was selected for its gigantic size, crisp golden bulbs, and low-latex content — making it a favorite for home growers and tropical fruit enthusiasts who want to produce serious poundage.

Fruit Size: Enormous! Individual fruits regularly exceed 40 lbs, with some reaching 60–80 lbs under ideal conditions.

Flesh Texture: Crispy and firm with very little latex. Easy to clean and excellent for fresh eating or commercial use.

Flavor: Sweet, tropical, and subtly floral. Hints of mango, banana, and melon, but with a distinctly “clean” finish thanks to the low-latex profile.

Tree Habit: Vigorous grower with dense, upright branching. Begins fruiting in 3–5 years from planting under warm conditions.

Use:
✔️ Excellent fresh or chilled
✔️ Great for dehydration or value-added processing
✔️ Ideal for growers looking to produce showstopper fruit

Climate Suitability: Thrives in zones 10–11. Best performance in South Florida, the Caribbean, and similar tropical/subtropical climates.
