They are so finicky about low temps and low humidities that you better live by the ocean and in the tropics. I just loose 2 out of 3 potted champedaks (1 year old), and the one remaining is leafless (seems they will survive this winter, I guess they all would have survived if indoors or in the ground).

Marang seems to be more cold hardy and less picky about low humidity and temps, besides, people say marang is way better than jackfruit and champedak. Pedalai also deals better with low humidity and low temps than champedak(in here extreme lows are 9°C and low humidity is 35-40%).

Patusho that's interesting I had always thought champedaks had the same hardiness as a jackfruit since there are so many hybrids of the two.

Mangogrower, champedak is suppose to be sweeter with a more overwhelming tastes. Unfortunately its flesh are more fibrous. But it does separately much more cleanly and easily than a jackfruit.

Champedek is very sensitive to the cold. It will not survive well even here in South Florida. I'm sure it will not survive in North Florida. I have a hybrid of Champedek X Jackfruit, known as Cheena, which survives the winters here well. Though I'm pretty confident you're too far north even for that unless you have some serious protection.
