Both fruit split. One wasn’t close enough to being ripe and the second started to rot from all the rain as I let it tree ripen after splitting. Both weighed in around 35lbs. Sadly, not as red as advertised.
I was able to cut up my jack and I’m pretty sure I have the real thing. Even coming from a neglected tree and picked early, it’s one of if not the best jackfruits I’ve had, especially the darker/ riper bulbs from the bottom. The latex was minimal but there was an average amount of rag.
Seems scions are hard to get nowadaysI found its easy to buy a tree and grow them in pot or ground then you will have constant supplay of scions of that particular variety.
Guava's original name is Priyoor from India.
Sien ta Lone aka Guava is one of my favorite mangoes. Wish I had some now.
Agree with Oolie, "give them all a shot!"
Timor red is not a great jackfruit IME.Do you guys grow TM Red in Australia? What is IME and IMO?
And it does not have red arils IME.
The name is deceiving.
It’s cruchy.
It’s worse then a number of our random seedlings.
It’s no way close to amber in quality IME.
I am just saying this so that people don’t think it’s just their tree that isn’t good or meet up to hype etc.
Real “red” or “very dark orange” jack is really good IMO!
Like 10/10 and Timor is like 4/10.
Not hatin just my opinion
At around 10cm girth the jackfruit tree will be able to hold a fruit to maturity and should be flowering,IME.
And thats anything from 2-3 years from seed sown for a seedling.
But depends on environment.
Usually young tree’s don’t give good flavour if many fruits are kept on.
We thin out the fruit early on for young tree’s.
Peace!
Raul my tree is still small. I have both Red Morning and TM Red(Tony Morris red).. they are this year's plantings from 3g, hopefully in coming years they will fruit. The jack in your picture is likely from TM red and not Red Morning. I would ship you seeds for free if i had, will always remember how you were honest and generous to me, thank you very much. The only person i know with tons of jack varieties growing in his yard is Brandon - member cbss_davie so please message him and check.
...btw your pumpkin type garcinias are doing great.
That pic was a Red Morning seedling fruit: http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=4856.msg136486#msg136486
I can't remember if that Red Morning seedling is what is now known as Timor (TM, Tony Morris Red) though. Maybe Rob remembers.
I hope it the right graft they are getting sloppy with accuracy at some nurseries!
:)Please keep us updated ... thanks
With my Raja Puri bananas ripening now in the rainy season, I'm seeing the skin split on most of the bananas. Is this something that's peculiar to or more pronounced in this variety? I didn't mention that is a soft, moist banana, not a firm, dry one.
