What is the life cycle of a jackfruit?

The life cycle of a jackfruit begins with the planting of seeds or the use of grafted saplings. Once planted, the tree grows through stages of seedling, juvenile, and mature stages, typically taking 3 to 4 years to bear fruit. The flowering occurs during the rainy season, leading to the development of the large, spiky jackfruit, which can take several months to mature. Once ripe, the fruit can be harvested, and the cycle can begin anew with seeds or propagation from the fruit's flesh.
