==How to plant/cultivate==In terms of taking care of the plant, minimal pruning is required Cutting off dead branches from the interior of the tree is only sometimes needed. In addition, twigs bearing fruit must be twisted or cut down to the trunk to induce growth for the next season. Branches should be pruned every three to four years to maintain its productivity.Stingless bees such as Tetragonula iridipennis are jackfruit pollinators, and as such, play an important role in jackfruit cultivation. ==Commonly seen growing in areas=={{Commonly seen|Western Ghats}}, {{Commonly seen|Malabar Coast}}. ==Photo Gallery==<gallery class="left" caption="" widths="140px" heights="140px">File:Artocarpus hirsutus immature fruits from Tuvvur, Kerala, India.JPG|Artocarpus hirsutus unripe fruitFile:Artocarpus hirsutus fruit.jpg|The ripe fruit of Jungle JackFile:ആഞ്ഞിലി.jpg|unripe fruits in a treeFile:ആഞ്ഞിലിപ്പഴം.jpg|The ripe fruit of Anhili with the outer skin removed.File:രണ്ട് ഐനിച്ചക്കകൾ.jpg|ripe fruits File:ഐനിച്ചക്ക.jpg|a ripe fruitFile:ആഞ്ഞിലി ചക്ക അഥവാ ഐനി ചക്ക.jpg|semi-ripe Anhili fruit.File:Artocarpus hirsutus fungal infection.JPG|Artocarpus hirsutus fungal infectionFile:Artocarpus hirsutus fungal infection close up.JPG|Artocarpus hirsutus fungal infection close-up</gallery> ==References== <references> <ref name="chemical composition">[https://enwww.wikipediasciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378874110002060 "ethnopharmacology"]</ref><ref name="Leaf">[https://indiabiodiversity.org/wikispecies/Tinospora_cordifolia show/8066 "Tinospora cordifolia-Wikipediamorphology"]</ref></references> ==External Links==* [http://frlhtenvis.nic.in/KidsCentre/Artocarpus_hirsutus_1636.aspx Artocarpus hirsutus on ENVIS Centre on Conservation of Medicinal Plants]* [https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/8066 Artocarpus hirsutus on India Biodiversity Portal]* [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378874110002060 Artocarpus: A review of its traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology]* [https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/d5c0/67efca6a605cfebce2ad4b6a8a702887ccca.pdf Artocarpus: A review of its phytochemistry and pharmacology]* [http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.381.143&rep=rep1&type=pdf Pharmacognostical studies on the bark of Artocarpus hirsutus Lam]
