Jackfruit Trees for Sale: Dwarf, Grafted & Seed Varieties

Jackfruit is the world’s largest tree fruit, native to Southeast Asia and prized for its tropical sweetness, versatility, and exceptional nutritional value. At Everglades Farm, we offer a selection of dwarf grafted, standard grafted, and seed-grown jackfruit trees, shipped directly from our Florida nursery to your home.

Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, jackfruit supports immune health, heart health, and healthy blood pressure. Ripe jackfruit offers sweet tropical flavors perfect for fresh eating, smoothies, and desserts, while unripe jackfruit serves as a plant-based “pulled pork” substitute in savory dishes.

Why Buy Florida-Grown Jackfruit Trees?

Our jackfruit trees thrive in abundant Florida sunshine, producing fruit with superior flavor and nutrition compared to imports. Growing your own means harvesting at peak ripeness, avoiding the uneven ripening and reduced quality often found in store-bought jackfruit.

Jackfruit trees flourish in USDA Zones 9-11, and can be grown in the ground in warm climates or in large containers in cooler regions with greenhouse protection. With proper care, these trees can live for decades, producing fruit for generations.

Dwarf Grafted Varieties - Compact Size, Full-Sized Fruit

Perfect for small spaces, dwarf grafted jackfruit trees remain manageable in height while producing large, flavorful fruit, often within 2-3 years of planting. Popular options include:

• Golden Nugget Dwarf Jackfruit: Sweet jackfruit with golden fruit flesh, produces ripe fruit in 2-3 years

• Red Morning Jackfruit Seedlings: Unique fruit flesh color from authentic jackfruit seeds

Growing & Harvesting Tips

Jackfruit trees need 8-10 hours of direct sunlight, warm temperatures, and regular watering. Grafted trees produce sooner than seed-grown varieties, but all require patience for their first harvest.

Ripe jackfruit develops a sweet aroma and yields slightly to pressure. Unripe green jackfruit is firm and perfect for savory cooking. Fruit can be eaten fresh, cooked in curries, or processed into jams and desserts. The seeds can be boiled or roasted for a nutty snack.

Health Benefits of Fresh Homegrown Jackfruit

Jackfruit benefits include impressive health benefits for human health. Fresh fruit from your trees provides:

• Blood sugar management through natural fiber and plant compounds

• Heart health support maintaining healthy cholesterol levels

• Blood pressure regulation through potassium

• Immune system boost from vitamin C and antioxidants

• Wound healing properties from folk medicine traditions

• Protection against chronic diseases and heart disease

Ripe jackfruit eaten raw or in sweet dishes provides natural energy, while unripe fruit works as meat substitute in jackfruit tacos and savory dishes. The meaty texture of green jackfruit makes perfect pulled pork alternatives.
