Key Features & Benefits

• Grafted variety of Jackfruit Tree known locally as Taba Papara Panas
• Produces medium to large fruits with soft, sweet, and aromatic bulbs
• Grafted plant ensures early fruiting (compared to seed-grown trees)
• Fruits have fewer fibers and better texture, ideal for eating fresh
• High nutritional value: rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, and antioxidants
• Suitable for home gardens and small orchards
• Adaptable to tropical and subtropical climates

Plant Care Guide

Sunlight

• Requires full sunlight (6–8 hours daily)
• Essential for strong growth and good fruit development

Soil

• Prefers well-drained, fertile loamy soil
• Rich in organic matter is ideal
• pH range: 6.0 to 7.5
• Avoid heavy clay soil with poor drainage

Watering

• Water regularly during the early growth stage
• Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
• Mature trees are somewhat drought-tolerant
• Increase watering during flowering and fruit development
• Reduce watering in winter

Fertilizers

• Apply organic manure (cow dung or compost) every 1–2 months
• Use balanced NPK fertilizer (10:10:10) during growth phase
• Add potassium-rich fertilizer to improve fruit quality
• Neem cake can be applied to protect roots and enhance soil health

Re-potting Instructions

• Can be grown in large containers initially, then transplanted to ground
• If kept in pots, choose a large container (at least 24–30 inches)
• Re-pot every 1–2 years while young
• Ensure proper drainage holes
• Eventually best suited for open ground due to large tree size

Fruiting Season

• Starts fruiting within 2–4 years (grafted plant)
• Fruiting season in India: March to June (varies by region)
• Fruits take several months to mature after flowering

Usage Ideas

• Eat ripe fruit fresh
• Use raw (unripe) jackfruit as a vegetable in curries
• Make chips, pickles, and traditional dishes
• Prepare sweets, desserts, and jackfruit pulp products
• Seeds can be boiled or roasted and eaten

Care Tips

• Provide support to young plants against strong winds
• Mulching helps retain moisture and improve soil fertility
• Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove weak branches
• Protect from frost; sensitive to cold temperatures
• Watch for pests like fruit borers and mealybugs; use neem oil or organic sprays
• Ensure enough space if planting in ground, as the tree grows large.
