| Planting and Care | To prevent other plants from competing with your jackfruit tree for nutrients and moisture in the soil, it's important to maintain the soil evenly moist and to routinely weed the area around the tree. Mulch around the tree can aid in both retaining moisture in the soil and suppressing weed growth. |
| Special Feature | The fruits, leaves, and bark of the jack tree have long been used in traditional medicine due to their anticarcinogenic, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and hypoglycemic effects. |
| Uses/Benefits | Its edible fruit and seed fruit can be consumed uncooked or prepared in a variety of ways, making it unique. Unripe fruit's carbohydrate-rich pulp is frequently served as a vegetable. Some of the fruit's carbohydrates are converted into sugars when it ripens, making the fruit sweeter. |
