Pohon nangka umumnya berukuran sedang, sampai sekitar 20 m tingginya, walaupun ada yang mencapai 30 meter. Batang bulat silindris, sampai berdiameter sekitar 1 meter. Tajuknya padat dan lebat, melebar dan membulat apabila di tempat terbuka. Seluruh bagian tumbuhan mengeluarkan getah putih pekat apabila dilukai.
Daun tunggal, tersebar, bertangkai 1-4 cm, helai daun agak tebal seperti kulit, kaku, bertepi rata, bulat telur terbalik sampai jorong (memanjang), 3,5-12 × 5-25 cm, dengan pangkal menyempit sedikit demi sedikit, dan ujung pendek runcing atau agak runcing. Daun penumpu bulat telur lancip, panjang sampai 8 cm, mudah rontok dan meninggalkan bekas serupa cincin.
Tumbuhan nangka berumah satu (monoecious), perbungaan muncul pada ketiak daun pada pucuk yang pendek dan khusus, yang tumbuh pada sisi batang atau cabang tua. Bunga jantan dalam bongkol berbentuk gada atau gelendong, 1-3 × 3-8 cm, dengan cincin berdaging yang jelas di pangkal bongkol, hijau tua, dengan serbuk sari kekuningan dan berbau harum samar apabila masak. Bunga nangka disebut babal. Setelah melewati umur masaknya, babal akan membusuk (ditumbuhi kapang) dan menghitam semasa masih di pohon, sebelum akhirnya terjatuh. Bunga betina dalam bongkol tunggal atau berpasangan, silindris atau lonjong, hijau tua.
Buah majemuk (syncarp) berbentuk gelendong memanjang, seringkali tidak merata, panjangnya hingga 100 cm, pada sisi luar membentuk duri pendek lunak. 'Daging buah', yang sesungguhnya adalah perkembangan dari tenda bunga, berwarna kuning keemasan apabila masak, berbau harum-manis yang keras, berdaging, kadang-kadang berisi cairan (nektar) yang manis. Biji berbentuk bulat lonjong sampai jorong agak gepeng, panjang 2-4 cm, berturut-turut tertutup oleh kulit biji yang tipis coklat seperti kulit, endokarp yang liat keras keputihan, dan eksokarp yang lunak. Keping bijinya tidak setangkup.
Jackfruit trees
are generally of medium size, up to about 20 m in
height, although there are
up to 30 meters. Round
cylindrical rod, until
about 1 meter in
diameter. Editorial dense and bushy, broad
and rounded when
in the open. All parts of plant issued a thick
white sap when
injured.
Single leaf, scattered, stemmed 1-4 cm long, rather thick leaves such as skin, rigid, flat brimmed, round eggs upside down until the ellipsoid (elongated), 3.5 to 12 × 5-25 cm, with the base narrowed little by little, and the short end tapered or slightly tapered. Leaves oval taper the fulcrum, to 8 cm in length, easily fall out and leave scars like a ring.
Jackfruit plants monoecious (monoecious), inflorescence appears in the armpit leaves on short shoots and special, which grows on the trunk or parent branch. Male flowers in a hump-shaped rod or spindle, 1-3 × 3-8 cm, with a clear ring at the base of fleshy excrescence, dark green, with yellowish pollen and smelling faintly fragrant when ripe. Flowers jackfruit called babal. Once past the age of cooking, babal will rot (overgrown with mold) and blackened during the still on the tree, before finally falling. Female flowers in a single nodule or in pairs, cylindrical or oval, dark green.
Fruit compound (syncarp) elongated spindle-shaped, often unequal in length, up to 100 cm, on the outer side of the soft form of short spines. 'Meat fruit', which is actually the progression of flower tent, golden yellow when ripe, fragrant, sweet hard, fleshy, sometimes filled with fluid (nectar) is sweet. Seeds oval to ellipsoid slightly flattened, 2-4 cm long, successive seed covered by a thin brown skin like leather, the endocarp hard whitish clay, and soft eksokarp. Chips seeds are not symmetric.
