Badhal/Artocarpus Lacucha/Barhar/Monkey Jack Live Hybrid Fruit Plant

Monkey Jack Fruit Plant Planting Jack Fruit Tree: Choose a big open space of your garden that receives full sun, clear it from weeds, and dig a hole. To ensure good drainage, mix 1/3 part of compost, sand, perlite, and organic matter in the garden soil to prepare a rich, porous potting soil for planting. You need to water it often as it prefers moist, well-drained soil but avoid over-watering especially when the plant is growing in the first two years. Do regular pruning to retain the tree’s height below 20 feet. When it grows above 12 feet tall, reduce its main trunk to 8 feet to encourage the growth of dense branches. Jackfruit tree establishes after 3-4 years. During this period if it produces flowers pinch them off to promote growth. Well, it’s a lifetime investment; all parts of the jack-fruit tree are useful. It is quite a handsome rustic tree that resembles oak. It provides shade, shelter and natural habitat to birds and pollinators. A single tree provides enough homegrown jack-fruits that not only you but your neighbors will get bored eating it!
