    Make sure it's getting enough water and 6 - 8 hours of sunlight per day. You could also try giving it fertilizer once a week.

    My Jackfruit plant was beginning to die from lack of sunlight (it is still indoors), so I put it in the sun for a few hours. Now it has a bad sunburn. What do I do?

    Cut off the dried leaves and put it in the shade for a 2-3 days. After that, make sure to water it a lot and the soil won't get dry from the sun.

    Jackfruit trees begin producing fruit within three to four years after planting. They can reach heights of 80 feet during their 100 year lifespan, but should be kept trimmed at 15 feet to maximize the harvest.
