Jackfruit
Jackfruit is a tropical fruit known for its large size, sweet aroma, and rich nutritional content, including carbohydrates, vitamins, and dietary fiber. It is cultivated from the Artocarpus heterophyllus tree, which thrives in tropical and humid climates with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C. Jackfruit grows best in deep, well-drained loamy soils rich in organic matter, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5). The tree requires ample sunlight and regular watering, especially during flowering and fruit development, although it can tolerate short dry periods once established. Jackfruit trees are hardy and long-lived but sensitive to waterlogging and frost. Proper care, including pruning, pest management, and spacing, ensures healthy growth and abundant, nutritious fruits.
