Baybay Sweet Jackfruit: Fruit and Tree Characteristics
Baybay Sweet is a registered jackfruit variety, also sold or known as Baybay Sweet langka or NSIC Jf 07. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 2009 as NSIC 2009 Jf 07. Gil C. Impas bred it. Its record notes a yield of 30 fruits and above.
The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.
What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.
So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

Where and when to plant Baybay Sweet jackfruit
Pick a selection by flesh: firm and crisp for fresh eating and processing, or soft and sweet. Grafted trees of a named selection bear true. A registered tree variety is a selection from one proven mother tree, and only grafted, budded or marcotted plants carry its traits. A seedling grown from its seed can turn out quite different. So buy from a nursery accredited by the Bureau of Plant Industry, and ask which mother tree the scions came from. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Pagtatanim ng puno.
