Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.), being a cross pollinated crop shows high variations in plant and leaf characters. Thus, present study was under taken to assess the morphological variations of plant and leaf characters among twenty genotypes under AICRP on Fruits, B.C.K.V., Mohanpur centre as per the descriptor developed by Bioversity International (IPGRI). Variations were noticed with respect to shape of crown (elliptic, pyramidal, broadly pyramidal, semicircular and irregular), leaf shape (elliptic, oblong, obovate, narrowly elliptic and broadly elliptic) and also in terms of biometric characters of fruit like plant height (5.9-9.1m), trunk circumference (0.61-1.17m), crown diameter (5.1-10.2 m), leaf blade length (7.5-13.4 cm), leaf blade diameter (4.1-7.6 cm), petiole length (0.7-2.7 cm).
