Plant Insights and Care
The Jackfruit tree, scientifically known as Artocarpus Heterophyllus, hails from Southwest India, and thrives in tropical climates, making it well-suited for cultivation in the UAE's warm weather.

These trees have a reputation for being hardy and are known to withstand dry spells once established. However, regular watering, especially in the early growth stages and during the dry season, promotes healthy growth and better fruiting. Utilizing organic mulch can help retain soil moisture and provide necessary nutrients to the soil as it decomposes.
