==Description==
===Propagation===
In the [[Malay archipelagoArchipelago]], cempedak is usually cultivated with other fruit trees in mixed orchard systems of small farmers and occasionally in large fruit plantations. The trees are normally propagated by [[Grafting|bud-grafting]] to maintain desired genetic traits.<ref name=":0" /> Plants are also propagated by seed, but the seeds spoil quickly after removal from the fruit, so they must be planted immediately after cleaning.<ref name=":1" />
