The Black Gold Jackfruit tree growing in my greenhouse has set fruit. I don't know how large the fruit is going to get. Its only about 4 inches long and about 2 feet off the ground. The tree is about 12 feet tall. Its pressing up against the ceiling of the greenhouse.

Here's some photos:

    Oh COOL! That's a quite a large size tree. How long has it been growing there? We will all get to share in the feast, right, hehe, just kidding. Congrats.

    eggo,

    Its only been in the greenhouse for about 3 years. It really took off soon after I planted it and with no winter temperatures to deal with, it just kept growing. I keep the greenhouse temperature at 60 degrees minimum. Can't wait to see how big the fruit gets.

    Yeah! It´s super cool Gary, Congratulations!!!!!!!!

    Hope it can handle the fruit. And what about pollination?

    3 years? Hope next year I can see some flowers in mine! Will keep my fingers crossed. =D

    Gary,

    Sorry to change subject.

    How are the Amherstia and Yellow Delonix doing?

    My grafted, mutant yellow Delonix is in the midst of its second, outdoor winter in the ground. Presently, it looks like a four-foot, three-pronged stick. But in the summer it puts on about a foot or so of new growth.

    I also planted two Colvilleas at the same time and the same size. One of them didn't make it through last year's long, wet winter but the other came through fine. It too is presently about a four-foot stick.

    Nice!

    I just got my first fruit off my unknown Jackfruit (I will do a post later this week) but the fruit was not nearly as good as Black Gold.
    I am still waiting for my first Black Gold fruit bloom. My tree is larger than yours, but younger. I am thinking of topping my Black Gold, but am afraid it will want to produce branches instead of fruit!

    Booo! I want a greenhouse like yours. Too bad I'm in a 400 sq. ft. apartment.

    Seriously though, your tree looks great. Congratulations.

    My bangkok lemon also has fruit. I removed all but one that is 3 by 6 inches . The tree is 3 yrs in the ground and close to 3 inches in diameter. It is only 6 ft tall but I halved it two yrs ago . Should I leave this fruit on?
