See if you don't find this informative, Kelly:

"From the family Moraceae and related to the breadfruit, growing jackfruit trees (Artocarpus heterophyllus) can attain heights of 80 feet with a straight trunk branching out from the base. Jackfruit tree info finds these trees cultivated in India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia, Kenya, Uganda and Mauritius. They may also be found in Brazil, Jamaica, the Bahamas, south Florida and Hawaii."

I'd look up your Cooperative Extension Horticulture pages. The browned edges on leaves should show up if you search--and then you can start diagnosing. Ideally, you should have a county agent or horticulturist (if you live in a more urban area than I) and can take a leaf sample in. If you have a horticulturist locally, I suspect they can get it diagnosed. Even a good garden center (I don't mean big box--I mean a real nursery) can probably help you with this part. Hope this is helpful.
See? If I'd seen Molly's response, I could have pointed you to it! That's their state Extension Horticulture page (every state has a Land-Grant University) and you can also contact them directly if you need to! Good luck!
Where do you live? Jackfruit is a tropical plant. See if these links help! So happy for you that you started from a seed.

Where do you live ?. This is a tropical TREE. I lived in India and it grows very tall and spreads its branches. It needs heat, sun and rain. The fruit is Yummy when really ripe.
