The flesh of the Mai 3 is crisp and has good flavor....but the most interesting thing about the fruit, is that it virtually has no latex. The fruit pictured in my avatar I cleaned without any oil and my blade needed minimal cleaning. I am growing a seedling Mai 3 that is about 3 feet tall now in a 3 gallon container.
Rob (bsbullie) has also verified this phenomenon of low latex in the Mai series as he is growing/tasted them. It makes it so much easier to enjoy the fruit with least amount of hassle. This was discussed in an old garden web forum.
The person with probably the most knowledge on this subject would be the pioneer himself Richard at excalibur, If my memory serves me correctly it was Richard that selected the Mai varieties from seedlings that an asian farmer was growing....blah, blah basically give Richard a call at
http://excaliburfruittrees.com/ I usually use the university of FL for a source of information especially this link for jackfruit,
http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/mg370 and if you notice none of the Mai series is listed which tells me there probably is not a lot of information floating around out there as far as vigorous growth habits average flesh/seed ratio, size of fruit ect..
Here is a Mai 3 jackfruit:
As you can see after cutting the fruit completely in half there is a very small amount of latex beads on the rag.
