Were any from the white, “coreless” species?
I am about 18 months on my sugarloaf. It is quite large, but its in a pot. I had to move it into the greenhouse on some days where we had a freeze chance. Hopeful for fruit this year.

White fleshed, cores are edible but not super soft like others ive had before. Thornless leaves?.

Those appear yellow fleshed. The white fleshed species and its cultivars have thorns along the leaf edges.
I’m also growing a yellow fleshed cultivar imported from Maui. There are no thorns on the leaves.

The small one was yellow. The bigger one i took a photo, kind of yellow. A few varieties bunched together in a big patch here.

How do you serve the jackfruit seeds?

Remove sprouts, they often come sprouted. Boiled 20 mins, rinse, remove skin, mix with steamed sweet potato greens, avocado, coconut meat, lime.
Its what the farm provides that day kind of recipe.

My Kona Sugarloaf got eatten by a raccoon 
It must have been good because there is nothing left but the top. Happened Saturday, 2 days before I got home from summer work. I was really looking forward to it as well. Guess I have to wait a year or 2 for the pups to fruit now.

My local gardening group has someone in Lloydminster Alberta (53.5 latitude/parallel!) grow one on her south facing front step each summer, in a half barrel, after starting inside.
Full decorative use, too, with spiller plantings around it.

been looking for this one. melissas produce sells it but shipping is so crazy im waiting till a store gets it in stock. Its not exactly the same but in the same family of white fleshed pineapples so id be giving it a shot. jamaican sugarloaf have like a more enlogated shape. I do not know if its the same as a kona sugarloaf.
The Sugarloaf species I’m growing has a soft, edible core. It is different from the solid core hybrids bred by Dole and others.

yes this is how its described by my jamaican nephew, the core is edible and soft. white flesh, very thin skinned and tender. do you know if its this elongated shape as well? from looking online it looks like it was originally bred in west africa and imported to jamaica where it was embraced

Very nice! Any idea of the size of the one in the photo?

Wow! I wonder what size it would grow here. My sugarloaf is typically 5" long, and Dole’s grow to about 3/4 grocery store size.
