I believe Richard may prefer the Excalibur Gold over the Red however I prefer the Red. Overall, compar[quote author=Sleepdoc linkcomparing a Red vs Gold of equal quality, I like the taste of the Red better. With taste being subjective, I am not sure there is a right or wrong. In any event, you won't be disappointed with the Excalibur Gold.
The Excalibur is also a very good jack fruit. I would put it in the same class as Bangkok Lemon, which is not a shabby variety by any means.

Jeff - while the Excalibur Gold is very good, I think the Mais are better and the Mai 1 is a heavy bearer. The Mai 3 may have a better flavor than the 1; but didn't bear as heavy and the fruit are smaller. The Excalibur Gold is better than the Mai 2.
Interesting. I planted the Excalibur Gold based on the rumor that Richard had said the Excalibur Gold was the best he'd ever had. Guess I'll have to wait a year or two to evaluate it myself.
Also, do you know anything about the variety "Excalibur" ?
I can't wait for a bunch of my trees to come into production. Will be cool to put the Excalibur stuff up against some of the Australian seedlings and others I have planted.
