Jackfruit Live Plant 8–10 Inches Tall in 4-Inch Pot – Artocarpus heterophyllus

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a tropical evergreen fruit tree known for its broad green foliage and edible fruit. This young live plant is suited to warm-climate gardens, patios, and container growing where temperatures remain suitable for tropical plants.

Each order includes 1 live jackfruit starter plant in a 4-inch nursery pot, measuring approximately 8–10 inches tall at time of shipping. The plant has an upright growth habit and is supplied as a young specimen. Its fruiting potential depends on maturity and growing conditions.
