I was surprised myself to find one with a niece piece of the stem still attached.
I'm going to try to root the cutting, since I'm not that experienced with the latter of the 2 methods.
The fruit itself was still sweet and delicious even though the skin had lots more green than the ones I usually purchased.
I'm going to be looking to see if I can find more with the same size stem I got this time around to try the grafting method.
Crossing my fingers and hope I find more.
I think the cashier thought I was crazy to have bought such green fruit...lol
A friend of mine bought a giant Yellow Megalanthus DF from 99 Ranch market and it had a stub of a vine so he grafted it onto another DF rootstock. Shortly after the graft, he noticed new growth from the stub. Here are some pictures

Sure, home grown fruits will taste better, in most cases. As for Aegle marmelos, try to get a selected variety and try it. Let us know if you like it or not.
I'm a local (UAE) Guy .
My father have a small-medium size company that is specialized in importing and exporting goods from India and Australia and to the Arabian Peninsula, and one of his business partner was a guy from Trichy-Tamil Nadu (if i am not mistaken) And that guy usually brings a whole jackfruit when he visit us.
I also know a few guys from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Kerala.
I will try to ask someone from Tamil Nadu state to bring a wild jackfruit fruit to me.
Anyone ever eat the stalk heart? Last time I cut one down and was turning it into mulch, it looked edible. But by then it was all chopped up and dirty. I told myself the next stalk I chop down, that I will save the heart (or whatever it's technically called).
