Cheena Jackfruit

The Cheena Jackfruit is a natural hybrid between a jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and a chempedak (Artocarpus integer). Cultivators favor this variety for its open, low-spreading canopy. The fruit is famed for its intense, earthy, tropical aroma and soft, pudding-like, deep-orange flesh that melts in your hands. Because it contains very little sticky latex, it can easily be pulled apart by hand without the mess typically associated with traditional jackfruits.   Botanical Name   Artocarpus heterophyllus × Artocarpus integer Also Known As   Cheena Cempedak Hybrid | Chapejak | Jackedak | Jakfruit | Jack Tree | 钱纳波罗蜜 | 尖蜜蜜 | 波罗蜜 | 菠萝蜜 | 苞萝 | 树菠萝 | 大树菠萝 | 木波罗 Specifications USDA Zone   Light Needs   Watering Needs   Leaves   Life Cycle   Avg.
