The Tropical Fruit Forum

After several weeks of searching,finally found a big tree of Artocarpus elasticus that is extant.
It turns out that here this tree has also been scarce.
Unfortunately,the tree has not been fruitful.
Peoples said Artocarpus elasticus fruiting during the dry season,and right now is still in the middle of the rainy season.

Thanks for your input Maryoto

I did some research about the jackfruit varieties that you mentioned and I found this.

Lewat lika-liku dan jatuh bangun selama hampir 2 tahun, akhirnya cempedak berdaging nangka pun mewujud. Cempeka, yang terbesar, bobotnya mencapai 6,5 kg dengan daging paling legit dan renyah ketimbang pedakka atau nangkadak. Pedakka lebih kecil dengan bobot 4,5—5 kg dengan kulit luar lebih pucat. Nangkadak, yang paling imut, warna jingga pekat dagingnya paling menarik dan lembut. Aromanya juga paling tajam. Jadi, lupakan cara lama mengkonsumsi nangka.

Late Lika and turns and ups and downs for almost 2 years, finally jackfruit jackfruit flesh shall establish. Cempeka, the largest, bobotnya reach 6.5 kg with most legit beef and crispy rather than pedakka or nangkadak. Pedakka smaller by 4.5-5 kg ​​weight with the outer skin paler. Nangkadak, the most moe, deep orange flesh is most exciting and soft. The aroma is also the most incisive. So, forget the old ways of consuming jackfruit.

It seems like both Cempeka and nangkadak are good varieties to grow.

Yes,this variety is good for planting.
Unfortunately no one cultivate here, do not know why.
Only the collectors and fruit lovers who are interested to plant it.

Hi Maryoto,

Glad you found a source for this fruit. Can you please ask them about the best variety of Jackfruit in Indonesia ?. I'm also looking for red borneo jackfruit seeds, let us know if  you can find it.

Don't forget about Garcinia species, that we mentioned earlier. 

I've contacted their management, but they have not reply my email.
Hopefully they allow me to get their nangkadak fruit.
Okey, I will inform you if there are a new seeds and also the seeds that you are ask.

I don't really know about the best jackfruit here.
But I think the best is:
1.Malaysia cempedak
2.Nangkadak
3.Pedakka
4.Cempeka
Varieties 2-4 are a hybrid varieties of jackfruit and Cempedak..
The advantages of this fruit is the taste more sweeter than jackfruit,from seed to the fruition only takes 3-4 years with high productivity.
Produce much fruit with a little bit of sap.
For cempeka and pedakka fruit i have a minimal information,because this fruits has not been cultivated.

I just got some  Durio Graveolens seeds from MY.
I believe its season now .

That's good.
I do not know whether in Malaysia and in Borneo have different seasons, because I was told by my uncle in Borneo that Durio graviolens has not been fruitful.

Maryoto, how long does the Durian season last?

I don't know for sure,but perhaps about 2 months.

Maryoto, do you have access to the Mangifera caesia?

I do not have access to Mangifera caesia Jack,this fruit only can be found in Borneo.
I have plans to go to Borneo to visit my uncle and look for rare fruits, if my money is enough.
Maybe when the fruiting season next year I can find the information for you.

Maryoto, when I grow up my dream is to live in Bali and have a tropical fruit farm and export all over the world. I think that Salak deserves to be on the market rather than other vile tasting fruits like buddhas hand, citron, bland tangerines, apples.

I want to go to Bali too,and also many kind of salak fruit here.

Oh I didn't know that Maryoto, you are doing quite well besides the fact, I probably wouldn't even
figure out to use a calculator.

The cost of living is cheaper here compared to your country, but as long as you don't live in jakarta.

Well, today is the fruiting durian season in Borneo, but for Durio graviolens currently not fruitful.
Hopefully your dream come true, and besides the cost of living in Indonesia is quite cheap compared to your country.
So I'm sure you can go here one day.
Actual dream is me, because I want to go to your country but definitely very expensive.
Sorry if my english messed up, I could not speak English.
Hopefully you can understand my words, because I use a translator to communicate with you guys haha

Perhaps because the soil pH is too acidic, try to check it out.

For your banana planting hole, make sure that water does not stagnate around the tree because it will make wither your banana tree.
Give a little dolomite at planting medium to neutralize the soil pH that is too acidic.

Hello Maryoto,

Do you have Cola acuminata seeds ?

Mohd

Sorry Mohammed,
I don't have Cola acuminata seeds.
I want to find it for you, but there is no tree of Cola acuminata here.
Sorry.
