Timor is the best red variety I’ve ever had. I’m not sure if Excalibur is selling them yet though.

I have heard that it is blood red. True?

Also, how good is Excalibur Red? I have a tree in the ground, purchased based on reports from fellow forum members. Have you tasted the fruit?

It's redder than any other jackfruit I've ever seen in person. I wouldn't say blood red though. If I can find the pictures I have of it, I will post it.

I've had Excalibur Red, and it was good.

Tree looks very happy.Make sure those fruit are coming from above the graft

Tree looks great. I agree that the fruit might be from the rootstock. Generally there should be some fruit on the secondary branches close to the main trunk.  I could not find anything higher up.  Are there fruit in the canopy? I remember someone posting that one of their Excalibur trees was grafted around 2 ft up.  I would also thin that low cluster down to 3 - 4 fruits, one or two per stem connected  to the trunk. I cant tell the size of the tree from the picture but heavy fruiting can be hard on a 3 year old tree. The young tree can handle no more than one or two fruit on each major secondary limb.

[Capt Ram]

yes there are 2 well developed fruit the size of a large egg  in the canopy- you can see one of them  if enlarged- yes all are above the graft-- -- how long till fruit matures??

[cbss_daviefl]

From the date the female emerged, typically 5 - 6 months.
