Jackfruit likes to grow in a warm environment and can grow normally when the temperature is higher than 21 degrees. At the same time, the requirements of the soil are not strict, as long as the acid or slightly alkaline soil with deep, fertile and good drainage can grow healthily, so it is best to choose flat land or low hills below 600 meters above sea level as far as possible.

2. Timely planting

Jackfruit can be planted all the year round, and it is generally best to be customized in March-April and September-November. When planting, straighten out the root system in the hole as far as possible, then slowly cover the soil, irrigate the right amount of water and cover it with plastic film to make it grow.

3. Rational fertilization

Jackfruit does not have high requirements for fertilizer. Generally, he only needs to apply secondary base fertilizer at the seedling stage, secondary quick-acting fertilizer at the growing shoot stage, and secondary organic fertilizer or a small amount of available fertilizer at the fruiting stage, so as to promote the growth of new shoots and blossom and bear fruit quickly.

4. Water management

Jackfruit has a higher demand for water, and generally requires higher water during the flowering or fruit development period, and the rest of the time is determined according to the growth situation. However, during the plum rain season, drainage measures should be taken to prevent stagnant water from causing root rot and affecting plant growth.

5. Shaping and pruning

After growing for a period of time, jackfruit will grow dense branches, cross branches, dwarf branches, stacked branches and other branches that are not conducive to the growth of seedlings, so when the trunk of the main tree grows to one meter, these useless branches should be cut off to ensure that the branches are nutritious. When pruning, it should be carried out in winter as far as possible, and there are 3-4 branches in the first-class branches to form a good tree structure.

General pests can be removed by smearing tree trunks with 600-fold solution of chlorpyrifos. The disease can be controlled with 1000-fold carbendazim or 1500-fold chlorothalonil.

8. Timely harvest

When pineapple honey grows to September to October, most of the fruit will mature, but due to climate and regional factors, the ripening time is fast and slow, so picking in batches as far as possible in order to increase yield and promote tree potential recovery. Generally, the fruits with plump appearance, fragrant smell and soft skin can be picked first and placed for 2-3 days to eat.
