Jack Fruit Hybrid

Description

Plant a tree that feeds a family for generations. The Grafted Hybrid Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) —known in Nepali as Rukh Kathar (रुख कटहर) —is one of Nepal’s most valuable and versatile fruit trees. Now available as premium grafted hybrid saplings from Gupta Nursery.

At Gupta Nursery, we offer high-yielding, grafted hybrid jackfruit plants that are specially selected for Nepal’s terai and warm mid-hill climates. With jackfruit currently fetching Rs 50 per kilogram at wholesale in Kalimati Market, and mature trees producing 150-250 fruits annually, a single tree can generate Rs 7,500 to 12,500 per year with minimal maintenance .

Why You’ll Love Our Grafted Hybrid Jackfruit Plant

• Nepal’s Most Productive Fruit Tree: Jackfruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, with a single tree capable of producing 150-250 fruits annually. Each fruit can weigh between 5-20 kg (and sometimes up to 40 kg!) — enough to feed an entire community.

• Grafted for Early & Heavy Production: Unlike seed-grown jackfruit trees that can take 8-10 years to fruit, our grafted hybrid plants begin producing within 3-4 years of planting, with superior fruit quality and consistent yields.

• Proven Market Value in Nepal: Jackfruit has a reliable market across Nepal. Kalimati Market wholesale prices consistently show Rukh Kathar at Rs 50-70 per kilogram, with prices sometimes reaching Rs 120 per kg during off-seasons .

• Two Harvest Seasons Per Year: Jackfruit trees typically produce two main crops annually:

  • Summer Season: Jestha-Ashad (May-July) — Main harvest

  • Autumn Season: Kartik-Mangsir (October-December) — Smaller harvest

• The Complete Food Tree: Every part of the jackfruit tree is useful:

  • Ripe bulbs: Sweet, aromatic, delicious fresh

  • Raw (green) jackfruit: Excellent meat substitute in curries (popular as “vegetable mutton”)

  • Seeds: Rich in protein, can be roasted or boiled like chestnuts

  • Leaves: Used as natural food wrappers

  • Wood: Valuable timber for furniture and construction

• Drought-Tolerant & Low Maintenance: Once established, jackfruit trees are remarkably hardy, tolerating drought conditions and requiring minimal care while producing abundant harvests for 50-75 years.
