I'm looking for a couple of jackfruit trees to add to my collection. I have the NS-1, Amber, Lemon Crunch and one unknown. Hopefully Harry or one of you other experts can guide me as to what else to add. My grafted Amber is in the ground, 3 years old and only 3' tall with 4 fruit on it. I'd like the tree to be at least 3 years old or older and I can pick it up.

Thanks

Ray

Where did you get a grafted Amber from?

I think your friends tree is most likely a seedling. So you may have a grafted Amber seedling and not a grafted Amber.

I meant to type 'it's NOT deficient or diseased in any way.'

I agree it's growing slow but it's deficient or diseased in any way.

Does anyone what this tree is?  The seed was sold to a friend in 2015 as a Nangka Mini/Dwarf Jackfruit but it doesn't look like one. Any help on an ID would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ray

Needless to say they no longer work here. They killed a couple of rare plinia also.

Does anyone have seeds to the Nangka Mini/Dwarf Jackfruit? I really is a remarkable plant and mine bloomed in 1 1/2 years from seed. I had a couple growing and fruiting but a landscape contractor destroyed them.

Thanks

Can anyone recommend a deep orange, crispy and relatively latex free jackfruit variety? Mine are soft and yellow fleshed and I'd like a change taste and texture. I saw one in one of Pete Kanaris's latest videos but they were eating it on a farm in Costa Rica and didn't give the name of the variety. Here's the link if you'd care to watch. The jackfruit is at around the 21:00 mark.

Haven't had that one.


I contacted Pete when the video came out. It is a Zill's variety Jackfruit. I am interested in thi variety as well. If anyone has seeds, please PM me. Thanks!

I thought these would come back but they're dead.  The Pickering mango and vexator were great producers. The vexator produced thousands of fruit a year.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Plinia Açu Paulista 'Otto Anderson'
« on: June 24, 2017, 05:09:35 PM »
Just to end any controversy about the seeds I've offered as Otto Anderson. Pictures I've posted were of almost ripe fruits and they had a reddish tinge to them and a Brazilian member was quizzical about this and didn't think it was the real thing. Here is a photo of the ripe fruit. As I stated before this is known Plinia Açu Paulista 'Otto Anderson' and is probably the best tasting of any known jabuticabas.

These seeds are available if anybody wants them. Picked today. $7 each and $2.60 domestic shipping.

How does the fruit taste?  Similar to red jabo?

Different taste then the red with a thicker skin. The red is really sweet because of the aureana cross. You don't get that intense sweetness with the restinga. It's sweet but toned down.
