Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Yellow Jack fruit thrives in warm, tropical and subtropical climates with ample sunshine. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Suitable regions include USDA hardiness zones 9-11.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

1. Location: Choose a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by digging a hole twice the size of the root ball. Amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and fertility.
3. Planting: Gently remove the tree from its container and place it in the prepared hole. Backfill with soil, ensuring the graft union is above the soil line. Water thoroughly.
4. Spacing: Plant trees 20-30 feet apart to allow for adequate growth and air circulation.

Watering

Water the tree deeply and regularly during the establishment phase. Once established, reduce watering frequency but ensure the soil remains slightly moist.

Fertilizers

Fertilize the tree with a balanced slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Apply organic fertilizers like compost tea or fish emulsion for optimal nutrient uptake.

Repotting Instructions

Re-pot young trees annually in slightly larger containers using well-draining potting mix. Repotting frequency decreases as the tree matures.

Fruiting Season

Fruiting typically begins 2-3 years after planting. The main fruiting season varies depending on the region, but generally occurs during the summer months.
