Finally…my jackfruit tree is giving me some fruit after all this time

I’ve been waiting years for my jackfruit tree to produce fruit, and it finally happened! Thought I’d share.

That’s awesome! I love jackfruit but it’s too cold where I live to grow one.

Thank you! I’m in a warm, dry area, so I wasn’t sure it would work either. Planted it near other fruit trees, and they seem to have created a little warm spot just right for it.

Wow, sounds like it really paid off. Did you know they say the flavor of yellow Wrigley’s gum was inspired by jackfruit?

So…what does jackfruit even taste like?

It’s a mix of pineapple, mango, and banana. Sweet and tropical!

Shred it up, throw some BBQ sauce on it…and there you go…jackfruit pulled ‘pork’ sandwiches!

For me, it’s like a tropical candy taste. Really unique and hard to describe!

Did anyone else chuckle a little when they saw the shape of these fruits? No jokes about ‘low-hanging fruit’ yet? Or is it just my sense of humor…

I opened this thread hoping for those comments! Guess I was a little early!

I came here specifically to see those jokes.

You’re brave for posting this with that shape!

“I think you mean ‘some nuts.’”

So glad I’m not the only one with a silly mind here!

Bet that would make some amazing ice cream!

Ooh, that’s a great idea! I’ll definitely give that a try once it’s ripe. Thanks!

Congrats on finally getting fruit!
