Quote from: fruitnursery on September 14, 2013, 09:21:31 PMHi,I have Eviarc Sweet tree in a container and it has flowered. I could provide limited scions. Pm if you're interested.That's great!! but there is still importation to worry about.However, could you please enlighten us to the taste? And texture? We are all very interested. And let us see if we can work out a way to get some scions here into the U.S.Great thing about this forum, while it may seem like the South Floridan Mango Growers Forum sometimes, it really is international.

I sure hope that Forum Member 'fruitnursery' can help to finally bring the 'EVIARC Sweet' jackfruit variety to the USA, as I and other Forum Members are very interested in doing this.plantlover13, has asked a very good question(s) about the quality of the 'EVIARC Sweet' fruit. There's nothing like first hand experience. It's nice to know that there are Forum Members like fruitnursery in the Phillippines.

But had bad experience in sending scions or seeds in the us especially in florida. One problem is shipping fee, its expensive to send packages in the philippines to us. Then the strictness of usda and customs. So if you're going to look at it, its risky. The variety is very superior because it more tasty and more productive. Jackfruit grows wild in the philippines and we have more varieties. But eviarc sweet is the number jackfruit variety in the philippines. The best way to send is to have a good packaging. But jackfruit is hard graft. You need an expert propagator to succeed.
Find out, maybe you're not so young afterall. If not, maybe you can get one with the signature of a parent/guardian?This is something that I'm even contemplating to do myself.
So does anybody has the EVIARC by now or is the hunt over?
I have no idea what TC is but they fruit after 3 years from seed so that's not so bad. I hope to find them soon here in Thailand as the Thai love sweet fruits so much.
Let's not give up hope in bringing the 'Sweet EVIARC' jackfruit into the States. In another Thread, it's been reported that 'red fleshed' jackfruit fruit, if not the tree, is already in Florida, USA. So, for the famous 'EVIARC' jackfruit, I hope it's a matter of time before it gets here, and the sooner the better.
Ladies and Gents, I have may have secured EVIARC Sweet budwood. I do not want to blow this opportunity so I would like to attempt to solicit the help of an experienced jackfruit grafter. I have managed to get my mango percentages to a fairly respectable rate but I have never done jackfruit before and fear all of the latex will give me problems. If anyone is really good at grafting jackfruit, please pm me and I will offer to pay for your services or trade you the 2nd EVIARC Sweet Jackfruit that is successfully grafted. Needless to say, I will keep the first to myself.
Any new information on this jackfruit?
