Probably this is the only video on the internet about pruning and training jackfruit with so much illustration
Thank you, we find it works for us, and it makes picking the fruit so much easier.
One of the best pruning videos with the different ages showed. Thank you
So nice of you.
Best Jackfruit pruning Video!
Thanks so much Martin! ☺
Thank you!
My jackfruit is about six years old now, and exploding in growth (straight up). So this helps me figure what to do with it.
That's great Dante! Have you had any fruit off it yet? 😋
Thanks for this. I have one Galaxy that I will let grow natural/straight up but the next one I get I’ll cut the same way in his video. The shape looks very beautiful. Does the shape (pruned vase or natural straight up unpruned) have anything to do with fruit production, or is the shaping more to do with ease of harvesting? Thanks
It is done for ease of harvesting and due to being in a cyclone area its best for us to keep the trees short.
Goood video content, very inspiring, I like it, greetings from vidofarm Indonesia
This is wonderful! Fantastic
Thank you 😊
Excellent very good information nice video
Thank you so much 💓
Wonderful video! I've learned that Jackfruits should be pruned when it is extremely humid and hot outside (late-August-September here in Florida)...otherwise limb die-back may occur.
Yes, die back can sometimes occur during wet cold periods, we are luck/unlucky in that it's hot and humid most of the year 😅
Amazing video. Thank you
Great video! How do you prune the canopy to keep it at the 3 - 4m height range? I'd love to see a video about that.
We remove the vigorous shoots from the top of the branches. On older trees, we will use a battery chainsaw if they are too thick for the pruners
I really loved the video brief and practical
Thank you 😊
Very informative video. ❤❤
What are the steps we need to follow while planting new trees ??
If possible please make a video. And also tell about water management.
Thank you
Thank you 😊 We had already started putting this weeks video together, but we will definitely try and do a video on your suggestions very soon 👍 Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🥰
Thank you. Going up to Mountain View to top my young jackfruit tree🤙
You're welcome Thomas 😊 It should calm the vigour down and make for easier picking 😋. Our step by step video shows how to keep them maintained after the initial shaping. Good luck! 👍
We have jackfruit trees back home in the Philippines and have heaps of fruits that we enjoyed. Now, I lived in QLD and I have two jackfruit trees in our garden. My first harvest was last month and it is sweet and crunchy.
That's wonderful Llane 🙂 Enjoy! 😋

Hello guys, can this method applicable to other fruit trees? Any YOUR VIDEO AND EXPLANATIONS IS VERY EXECELLENT AND INFORMATIVE FROM A NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE..
It is used for a lot of fruit trees, I wouldn't use it on terminal bearing trees like rambutan, but it's certainly worth thinking about with other trees
Pruning is fine. What is the benefit. My unpruned jack produced 65 jumbo sized fruits last year. Please post videos of fruit bearing trees after pruning
As we have explained, we live in an area prone to cyclones and so keep our trees short to reduce the risk of damage in the event of a cyclone. It also means we don't require machinery to pick fruit high up a tree.
yo, felllow-Thanks! splendid ~goodbye!- 🖐
Thank you
Great video and loving the aussielish accent too!
Thank you 😊
Great info! Whats the spacing between trees?
Thank you, our trees are 4.5 mtrs apart, in terms of spacing, the closer together they are, the more work, pruning there is, the further apart is less work. We went 4.5 spacing as we planned on keeping them short due to living in a cyclone area
Wow! Marvelous
💚💚🌹🌳🌳🌳🌹💚💚
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing your ideas
Thank you. I'm glad you found it interesting
Great video.thanks
Thank you
excellent presentation,I admire
Thank you so much
Very nice video mam.
That's very kind of you.
Good demo.. Thanks!
Thanks so much, we really find it much easier to harvest the fruit when keeping the trees short like this.
Will jackfruit do okay in somewhat partial shade??
We have jackfruit trees in our wind break that are in partial shade that still produce, whilst they don't produce as many as our orchard trees, in fairness we don't fertilise them.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 thank you for the reply.
I had planted a j33 in a super sunny area but had to replant it to another location due to low soil depth ,and the new location is somewhat shaded by my neighbours bread fruit tree.Hopefully as it grows ,it should get 90% sunlight 😄
Wonderfull video
i am planing to put jackfruit tree in my backyard can you tell me
How much distance should I keep between two jackfruit tree?
Thank you so much for making such informative videos 😊
Keep doing it
Left to grow they can grow really tall but if you intend to keep them short by pruning then ours are 4.5 metres apart.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 Thank you so much I really appreciate your help 🙏😊 So the distance from one tree trunk to another tree trunk is 4.5 m right
Or
Is it the distance from a trees crown spread
Plz correct me if I am wrong
🙏
The distance of ours are 4.5 mtrs trunk to trunk, and we keep the height 3 to 4 metres high.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 Thank you so much for your help it means a lot 🙏😊
Wonderful information 👍
Thank you so much Raju
Thank you for sharing your pruning management :)
You are so welcome!
I love your accent
All good
waw terimakasih ilmu dan inpo nya kakak. 👍🙏🙏
No worries, thanks 👍
Good one 🎉 All the best .But after the tree stops yeilding fruits , this tree can't used for timber 😢
If the trees ever stop producing, we would replace them with new trees.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 i don't think jackfruit stops producing . I thought it can produce up to 100 yrs
Thanks gor sharing 🙏👍
How many meters between one tree to another?
Ours are 4.5 mtrs apart. Obviously, the more distance between them, the less pruning they require.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 thanks
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 thanks 🙏
Very informative thank you
Thank you
mam u can do this pruning technique even in non grafted jackfruit?
I believe people have been pruning seedling trees in this manner.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 noted mam, thanks a lot!
Could you keep the tree any smaller without sacrificing the amount of fruit? Tempted to try this method for my greenhouse
Each fruit requires a certain amount of foliage to drive the fruit, so we tend to restrict the amount of fruit on each tree. That being said we have harvested 10 fruit weighing 8- 11 kg off a tree 4mtr high.
I like this video, thank you
I'm glad you like it
i love jackfruit i just start to learn how to grow jackfruit i have one galaxy and j33 jackfruit but my j33 skinny and tall what should i do to make it get bigger
Sometimes seeds just produce a slightly slower growing tree, give it time, if in it still looks weak next year then maybe think about replacing it
hey, nice video. how did you grew these plants? is it grafting or you got seeds.
Our jackfruit trees are all grafted
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 Can Jackfruit be amenable to cleft and veneer grafts instaed of approach grafts?
We don't really have a variety of them here in Bermuda, so I was wondering if it's best to grow different varieties from seed, or use those as rootstock and graft scions...Thanks.
@twilitezn if you can't import grafted trees, I would say your best bet would be to plant a few seeds from a good quality fruit and then select the best from them to begin propagation.
In terms of grafting, we found our wet season was our worst period in terms of success. Most likely, due to lack of sunlight and excess rain. As for which graft to use I believe its which ever you feel most confident with, I do one graft but Angela doesn't feel comfortable with that and has poor success yet she does a bud graft and has good success.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 I was also looking for your video showing how you bud graft, but I didn’t see it.
@@twilitezn will do one in the next couple of weeks 👍
Jackfruit is an ideal plant in the yard and one of the most versatile and valuable ones, just like a coconut. Its glossy leaves and deep-rooted system ensure natural nutrient supply and protection against strong winds. Being a climacteric fruit, I can easily determine when to eat ripe jackfruit and control its flowering time. By pruning its shoots, my plants stay lush without growing too tall, while the stems become larger and more sturdy."
Congratulations
Thank you
❤❤❤
Hi, im here in the Philippines...may we ask how many meters Above sea level(ASL) maximum, can we grow well and healthy Jackfruits ?
Here in Australia they are grown at 750 mtr ASL, they do need some heat and humidity to help fruit to fully ripen.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 thanks much for the reply
I see you have some “black” fruits as well , what makes them turn black ?
Jackfruit trees carry both male and female flowers. The males are the ones that eventually turn brown and drop off.
Nice shape..
Thanks 😊 We find it works so well, and the trees seem a lot healthier this way.
This pruning can be done in summer ??.
We are doing ours now, it is our summer, wet season.
I hope you use all those pruning! Jackfruit tea!❤
Do you use dried leaves or fresh?
good
Thanks ❤️
What are you doing with the Jack fruit. I have not seen this product in super markets in Australia. I am originally from Sri Lanka. We eat jackfruit in many ways like boiled jackfruit. Jack fruit tree in Sri Lanka grows to big size and use as a hard wood and it is second most expensive timber species in Sri Lanka. I grow jack fruit as a food item in my garden in Sri Lanka.
You are unlikely to find them in the big supermarkets. Try looking in the smaller grocery shops in the Asian areas.
Do you have cempedak jackfruit variety? This is variety have a good taste and unique fragrance from Indonesia.
Hi Alfian, no we don't. Have heard it's very nice though.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 Cempedak jackfruit has a much sweeter taste than jackfruit varieties in general, the flesh is softer, and the aroma is more fragrant. but has a slightly smaller fruit size than jackfruit.
@@alfiankharismanto9461 Thanks 😊 will keep an eye out for them!
Thank u for sharing, Where I can get this fruit.
Thanks Abdihakin. Our fruit goes to the Melbourne Wholesale markets but other growers send to other states. You may find it in some Asian grocers but the main season is over now.
Do you even encounter squishy outside rind but then white and squishy pods inside? That’s what’s happening with our tree
They can develop brown soft areas, this is caused by a fungus, it will usually be during the wet season here. It's one of the reasons we keep our trees open to enable good ventilation.
In Which month this jackfruit tree start bearing fruits..?
Here in Queensland they start flowering approximately April-may and we start picking fruit October onwards.
What kind of fertilizer is good for Indonesian soil?
Do you know what your soil is like, ? Acid or alkaline
If we use natural fertilizers, what materials can we get?
We use chicken manure, our soil is acid so we add dolomite (calcium-magnesium) and when the tree starts to flower we spray the leaves with boron to help with pollination
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 thank's
I will watch any video which has jackfruit as its subject.
Ya ya ya....thank's mom
Show us some of the older trees
We have posted older trees being pruned last year.
👍👍👍
This tree survive - 10❓❓
Yes do well. 👍
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 Thank you very much for your reply May GOD keep you happy
If I could have seen this video 10 years ago, my jackfruit garden would became very beautiful now. This ideas came very late. 😔😔😔
We know exactly how you feel ACV. We wish we had grown them this way in the beginning also. We are now converting the orchard over to this style of growing and removing the trellised trees. Hindsight is wonderful isn't it!! 😊
@Meadowcroft Farm Qld ✅💯✅yeah! really!! As I love my plants very much, I will definitely follow these ideas in the youngest Jackfruit plants and also in those plants coming to my garden yet in the future ( not only to Jackfruit plants but also to all possible plants). I have seen many videos from many Jackfruit farmers. But I got this valuable information only from this channel. Even though these ideas came to my mind (when I saw these types of designed trees in some gardens before several years) I feared to apply this technique suspected that whether the plant may die or will face stunted growth. But your video is giving cent percent confidence to follow this amazing technique. Thanking you very much...🙏🥰🙏
💚💚🌹🌳🌳🌳🌹💚💚
315 varieties of Jackfruit plants collection - I think this have been the greatest collection of Jackfruit plants in the world. The video is in Malayalam, you may not understand this local language of Kerala, India.

Thank you ACV for your lovely comment 😊 Some of my work colleagues are actually from Kerala!
Wishing you a very fruitful 2023 ❤
Thank you for this video maam and sir.
Thank you
Plant some Red jack varieties too. Good red varieties are from India.
Thanks IROSE. There would be some amazing varieties in India I'm sure. Getting them here would be tricky though.
Bude q ora ngerti bahasa ne
Tapi ngerti maksudnya.
Can you give me seed of jack fruit if you dont mind?
I am from Indonesia
My a dress Jomblang Rt. 03 Rw. 29 Sendangadi, Mlati, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia 55285
For the sample i will try to plant in my country.
Sorry, we font sell seeds
if i use seed to plant jackfruit, it will take how many years to produce fruits？
That will depend on how warm your climate is, but it should be between 2 to 4 years
It probably depends on your climate, but at least 2 years maybe 4.

We are farmer's not a professional television production company.

No
But aren't limiting the number of jackfruits on these trees by pruning it?
Yes, but it is easy to harvest as can harvest at ground level, no machinery required or climbing. Also, there is less risk of losing a tree due to cyclone.
@@meadowcroftfarmqld8577 thank you
Great video. Thanks
All good
