When does it bear, and how much?
A registered tree variety is described from its mother tree, not from trial plots. The mother tree of Mabini was about 24 years old and about 7 meters tall when it was registered. Its record notes a yield of 50 to 80 mature fruits. It bears every year, with fruit in February July. A grafted or marcotted tree bears years sooner than one grown from seed, and its yield climbs as the tree grows.

Where and when to plant Mabini 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.
