Absolutely delicious, Jakfruit has a
wonderful tropical taste, sort of a banana/papaya flavor, sticky and sweet. |
The exterior of the compound fruit is green or
yellow when ripe. The interior consists of large edible bulbs of yellow, banana-flavored
flesh that encloses a smooth, oval, light-brown seed. The seed is 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches
long and 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick and is white and crisp within. There may be 100 or
up to 500 seeds in a single fruit, which are viable for no more than three or four
days. When fully ripe, the unopened Jackfruit emits a strong disagreeable odor, resembling
that of decayed onions, while the pulp of the opened fruit smells of pineapple and banana.
There are two
main varieties. This one, the fruits have small, fibrous, soft, mushy,
but very sweet carpels with a texture
somewhat akin to a raw oysters. The other variety is crisp and almost crunchy though not
quite as sweet. This form is the more important commercially and is more palatable to
western tastes.

Jakfruit is the
largest tree-borne fruit in the world, reaching 80 pounds in weight and up to
36 inches long and 20 inches in diameter. The Jackfruit is an attractive, wind
resistant tree from India that bears large green fruits directly from its main branches
and trunk.
The
leaves are oblong, oval, or elliptic in form, 4 to 6 inches in length, leathery,
glossy, and deep green in color. Juvenile leaves are lobed.
The Jakfruit is oblong in
shape, its skin is greenish in color but turns yellowish when ripen. The skin is
dimpled,soft and slightly bouncy to the touch. Jakfruit also has its own peculiar strong aroma,strong but not as strong as the durian and
the chempedak. A ripe Jakfruit is easy to be cut open. Most people chop it into
cylindrical rings or triangular cubes for ease of handling. When cut open, seeds of the Jakfruit will be exposed in the yellowish flesh,
sticking to a rod-like core. Covering the seeds are grass-like soft fibers which are also
yellow in color, sometimes making it hard to see the seeds, and you will have to use your
fingers to dig inside to find the seeds. The flesh of the Jakfruit is very soft and very
sweet.
Height: over 40 ft. (12 m)
Hardiness: USDA Zone 9b: to -3.8 °C (25 °F)
The Jackfruit is mildly hardy, surviving short frosts and temperatures to 28 °F
for brief periods. Young trees will be killed by any frost.
Sun Exposure: Sun to Partial Shade
Bloom: Inconspicuous/none, Blooms repeatedly
Foliage: Evergreen
Other details: Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not overwater This plant is suitable for growing indoors |
|
The Jakfruit
tree should have a well-drained, frost-free location that is sunny and warm. The Jakfruit
flourishes in rich, deep soil of medium or open texture. Planting on top of an old compost
heap would be ideal. The faster one can force a tropical plant to grow, the better the
chance of keeping it alive. The tree needs the
best drainage and cannot tolerate "wet feet". The tree will not tolerate
drought. Water frequently during warm months and warm periods in cooler months. Less water
is necessary during colder weather.
The Jakfruit's
fertilization requirements are not known, but frequent, weak solutions of all-purpose
fertilizer will speed the plant's growth without causing burn. In the regions where it is
commonly grown, it succeeds without much care from man, the sole necessity being abundant
moisture.
Although mature
Jakfruit trees will take several degrees of frost, it is prudent to provide young plants
with overhead protection

Payment
We
accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for
in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the
mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN
BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for
discounts.
We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because
of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can only be
done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your
items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.
Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to
eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case
basis.
We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received
within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I cant really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

After you Receive your Items. |
LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
For this reason uninsurable.
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it.
Please have potting media and a container prepared for your plant
before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful on a plant, and any
mistakes that you make upon arrival can stress the plant further,
which is not good. Proper care is critical upon arrival. It is your
responsibility to know how to care for the plant.
Not every plant that I order through
the mail survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I
order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there
is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip
to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered
to your door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to
you.
Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it
arrived damaged. From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from
delivery confirmation to make any claim.
|
All claims need to be supported with
Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged,
the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and
understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit.
The expense to send it to you is most
of your payment. To send any replacement (s), I try to piggy back with
your next order.
Replacement is not an option for
CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA
CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S.-
USDA and USPS fees are included in the actual cost of shipping and
Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my
detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any reason really because I
will block you from any further purchases. I ship items the best and least expensive
option. These are coming from Hawaii. The only
thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I do ship all my items
promptly via best method--if you feel like the combined shipping fee is
wrong, please wait to be invoiced and check back with me-I value your
business and will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very
generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised.
Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at
seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements,
refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such
as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather
conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as
temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These
factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform
properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
