Jackfruit Leaves

The Jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is widely known in some parts of the tropical world, and has been consumed as a food and used in traditional medicines for centuries. They are particularly abundant in India, and that's where our story begins. Our good friend, author Sumer Tiwari, turned us on to these unique leaves and told us how Jackfruit trees are often found overhanging rivers in India, dropping leaves into the water, and of course, imparting a brownish tint as they decompose!  They have been used by fish keepers in India to impart tannins into their aquarium water, much in the way Catappa, Guava, or other leaves are.  Sumer tells us they work great with his killies and Dwarf Cichlids! As lovers of aquatic botanicals, and leaves in particular, we were immediately interested, and were able to secure a terrific source for these unusual leaves! To our knowledge, they're not available anywhere else for aquarium use, and we're thrilled to offer them to you! Jackfruit contai
