Planted in 2005 ,even though it was grafted it was a good 10 years till fruiting.Taste is very very sweet, but not bubble gum flavor a lighter fruit flavor firm melting flesh,almost oily ,yellow color.
 I should of took the other fruit on the other side of the tree off,then it probably would have broke the 100lb mark.

I tried this particular fruit today Mike brought by a piece it was over mature the seed had sprouted which is not a good taste in jak.He said people were still buying cut pieces at market. He had one in a earlier stage maturity that was very good 84lbs.One jak left, still on the tree 50ish lbs the (runt) came on tree later.
