Phet Damrong" Jack Live Plant (Artocarpus heterophyllus)

The "Phet Damrong" jackfruit is a highly coveted Thai variety, celebrated for its culinary superiority, offering an exceptionally sweet and rich flavor that is enhanced by its standout feature: very big, thick arils. A significant practical advantage of the Phet Damrong is its low latex content, which makes preparation much easier and less sticky than other varieties. The tree itself is a manageable size, growing to be about 12 feet tall. This variety exhibits excellent growth characteristics, as it can be easily grafted and begins producing fruit within a year of planting, with the potential for two harvests per year in suitable tropical climates, such as Kerala, India, where it is well-suited for cultivation. Due to this unique combination of superior taste, ease of preparation, and reliable growth, the Phet Damrong is a prized variety both in Thailand and across other tropical regions.
