Nice!

the much awaited fruit spread

those jaks look so evenly formed, is that because they're juvenile or from good pollination?

lycheeluva · « **Reply #3 on:** February 09, 2012, 09:13:23 PM »

how long was the jak seedling in the ground before it fruited

Harry, pls save me at least one Mammea. One of my favorites!

Oh Man Harry,

Again, you blow my mind. You got such a Great Collection. You could post dozens of pictures every day and all of them would be of different fruit trees. Truly Amazing. Thank so much for your wisdom and beautiful encyclopedia of fruit trees.

thanks for posting,

Great looking trees Harry! One of these days I'll make it out and see your beautiful grove. In the meantime, thanks for posting the great pictures. I always enjoy seeing them.

Hi Harry,
How long did your Jackfruit seedling take to produce?
BTW, The Pics look Great!!!

HMHausman · « **Reply #11 on:** February 11, 2012, 03:39:42 PM »

Thanks for the kind words. That jakfruit tree has been in the ground about 15 years......but, it got accidentally hit with Round up, when my then lawnman was trying to stop the weedwhacking of my small trees' trunks when he was doing the grass trimming around my trees. The tree almost died.....but then had a virtual resurection. So, I feel that this tree has some miraculous comeback staging properties and I am hoping, after all of these long years, that eating the fruit will be an equally miraculous experience.

Harry,
WOW 15 Year's

!!! You will see that all those year you looked after the tree!!! Will pay off with the first BITE

,

The reason why I asked about your J.F Tree seedling is that I'm going to grow some Jackfruit tree's here my self! As you know Jackfruit is a must in any back yard orchard! Here the Jackfruit will grow very well! Here some pics to prove it!!! This Tree is in private resort 'Quinta Jardins do Lago' The tree is about 13 ft tall and it's growing very well in a Subtropical garden! Near by the tree you will find White sapote, Coffee, Heliconias... It really feels like you are in Forest!

Really very nice jakfruit pictures. The fruits are very round shaped. I haven't seen too many like that. Are you saying these are seedlings?

Everything looks really great Harry ..

Especially that Thai Everbearing !! ... I think I need some budwood in a few months

bsbullie · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2012, 09:33:16 PM »

Harry - the Mai 3s I have seen have all had more of a "round" shape to them. Not saying they are completely round and that they all do but all that I have seen have been more round as opposed to the usual oblong shape..

I got a couple of Jackfruit seedlings, Maybe when they are big enough I will graft one of the seedlings with this variety! Have you tried grafting Jakfruit?

HMHausman · « **Reply #17 on:** February 12, 2012, 08:07:42 AM »

I haven't ever seen the fruit from the Mai 3. I am growing a jakfruit that is probably a seedling of Mai3, which was given to me as a purported grafted Mai 3 by Noel. Well, it was given to him identified that way and he gave it to me with the same representation that was given to him by someone....can't rememeber who exactly or what, if any the relationship was for this person with Excalibur, but I think there was some relationship. Maybe Noel will remember. Its got to be 12 or more years ago. Anyway, it has fruited a couple of years and it is obviously not a Mai 3 based at least on what I have heard about Mai 3. The fruits have been sparse in production and having poor pollination and therefore funky shape. I was going to cut the tree down this year when I see now that it bearing much more heavily and normally this year. So, it got a reprieve. I really like the look of this round jakfruit pictured. My alleged seedling of Mai 3 has much more elongated fruits.

On the grafting front, I haven't tried a lot of grafting. What I have tried has been approach grafts and they have been pretty succesful. I did three Borneo Red grafts and got two out of three to take. I killed one after planting it out, but the other is still doing OK. It is actually flowering now. Its still too small to carry any fruit, but the blooming is a good sign.

Harry,

Approach grafting . Yes.. thanks for showing me how ! ... It has really worked.

How are your Heidi's? Great I would think . The one I tried after the original unsucessful attempt due to branch breakage actually has pushed an inflo

Steven, Jackfruit does not take too long to fruit under good conditions. In Tenerife, a Jack x Chempedak hybrid started producing after 3 years. I could try to send you some seeds in a few month. Here the pictures:

Currently I'm growing two thai jackfruit seedlings. So far they are growing fast. Let's see how long they take to produce

Did you get to taste the jackfruit x chempedak hybrid? How was it? Was it more jackfruit or chempedak? How much latex?

The two Heidi mango grafts that were looking good when I got them from your house still look good. The third died. However, neither has pushed new growth yet. The rootstocks seemed more interested in pushing their own new growth. I have hacked off two attempts at rootstock growth and am hoping that they will both finally give up and push out through the new Heidi wood. Stay tuned.
