No. It needs water

"It smells like rotten citrus that has been fermenting in an un-flushed urinal."

Oh, yummy!

She can get Jackfruit in Duluth, Georgia in the mini Asian shopping paradise there at Nam Da Moon, H-Mart, Assi supermarkets.

If you have taken your wife there to shop, she will love you for it. You can overnight as the Jeju Do Sauna for about the same as a hotel room.

LOL... He stole the tree or he stole the fruit? The reporter, or editor, screwed up. It doesn’t smell “faintly of onion,” either. It really smells like rotting garbage, joke.

The seeds are good to eat, too. Boil them like chestnuts. I actually like the seeds better than the fruit.

In 1995, while riding the twisty, turning road to Hana, Maui on an antique Sportster, I almost crashed when one of those fell off a tree right in front of me and splattered all over the road. If I had dumped the bike, it would have been a hundred foot drop into the rocky surf below.

But here I am.

To this day I have not tasted jackfruit.

I saw Andrew Zimmer almost throw up when he tried Durian. If he can’t eat it I sure can’t. LOL!

It tried to kill you.

it would not be unreasonable to say “Screw Jackfruit” or similar. No one would blame you.

My question is can I grow it in Houston?

Our weather is very hot and muggy like southeast Asia for most of the year.

Then it freezes and kills all my fun plants.

Ok, that was just wrong.

Correct, but “wrong”...
