- Jackfruit trees are extremely sensitive to frost and won't survive in a drought. They flourish in a good loam soil but drainage is important so planted on a slope or where there is plenty of rocks in the soil. They need a high rainfall or watering but if kept to wet the tree could die or won't bear fruit properly.
