Can jackfruit be grown in the north?

Jackfruit can be grown in the north, but it cannot bear fruit under natural conditions and can only be planted in greenhouses. This is because jackfruit is native to tropical regions and needs to grow in a high temperature environment. If planted in the open field in the north, it is easy to be frozen to death due to the low temperature.

Jackfruit is a tropical crop that is widely distributed in Nepal, India and Malaysia. It mostly grows in frost-free areas with abundant rainfall and requires an average daily temperature above 22°C.

How to grow jackfruit in the north

1. Temperature: Jackfruit has high requirements for temperature. It grows in tropical areas, and the annual average temperature needs to be higher than 22°C. The plant is very cold-intolerant, and the winter temperature cannot be lower than 13°C.

2. Soil: The soil for growing jackfruit should be deep, loose, fertile, and have good water storage capacity. It is best if the transportation nearby is convenient to facilitate the transportation of the fruit.

3. Light: Jackfruit has relatively high requirements for light. The daily light time must be at least 8 hours. It is best to plant it in a sunny place.

4. Fertilization: Fertilization is the key to high yield of jackfruit. During the young tree period, nitrogen fertilizer should be the main fertilizer, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used in combination. Be careful not to use a single type of fertilizer.
