Product Details
Jackfruit ‘Cosmic Gold’ is a premium grafted tropical variety known for its bright golden flesh, rich sweetness, and low fibre texture. Grafted plants fruit much earlier than seed-grown trees and maintain consistent quality—making it a fantastic choice for home growers in Perth’s warmer microclimates.
