Gold Nugget Jackfruit – Compact and High Yielding

The Gold Nugget Jackfruit is a unique dwarf variety, originating from Queensland, Australia. It’s perfect for container gardening and small spaces, offering a generous yield of sweet, golden-orange fruit.

Tree Characteristics:

  • Size & Growth: This fast-growing tree is easily maintained at a compact size of 6 to 8 feet, making it ideal for home gardeners with limited space. Its dense canopy of rounded, dark green leaves adds to its ornamental appeal.
  • Temperature Tolerance: Grows best in USDA Zones 9B-11. It thrives in full sun and requires regular watering.
  • Production Capability: Despite its small size, the Gold Nugget Jackfruit is a prolific producer, yielding 130 to 175 pounds of fruit per year.

Fruit Characteristics:

  • Fruit Size: The fruits are small and round, weighing between 7-13 pounds. They start off green with sharp, fleshy spines, which smooth out as the fruit ripens, revealing golden-yellow skin.
  • Flesh Quality: The flesh inside is a deep orange, aromatic, and sweet, with a smooth, fiber-free texture. Its consistency ranges from soft to medium firm depending on the ripeness, often compared to the texture of butter.
  • Edibility: Around 41% of the fruit’s weight is edible flesh, making it a great choice for those who value high-quality, easy-to-eat jackfruit.
  • Latex Type: Low latex, making the fruit easier to clean and handle.
  • Harvest Time: Ripens mid-to-late summer. However, be aware that the fruit may split open if there are heavy rains just before they ripen.

Care Tips:

Gold Nugget thrives in full sunlight and well-drained soil. Regular pruning helps maintain its compact size, and container growing is a viable option for this dwarf variety. Ensure the tree receives consistent moisture, and take precautions to avoid heavy rainfall just before the fruit is ready to harvest to prevent splitting.
