Red Jack Jackfruit Plant 30cm Sapling | Red-Fleshed Variety | Indoor/Outdoor

Red Jack Jackfruit Plant — Rare Red-Fleshed Variety

The Red Jack Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus 'Red Jack') is one of the most sought-after jackfruit varieties in Kerala and South India, prized for its distinctively coloured red-orange flesh, intense sweetness, and exceptional flavour profile. Unlike common yellow-fleshed varieties, Red Jack produces fruits with a visually striking deep orange-red pulp that is firmer, less fibrous, and richer in beta-carotene.

This nursery-grown 30cm sapling is dispatched healthy, well-rooted, and ready for transplanting into your garden, terrace, or large container.
