Which has more resistance toward anthracnose? I've heard Neelam has some resistance, but please correct me if I am wrong.
Yeah, maybe but quality of Neelam fruit tends to suck. There are better Infian varieties to grow and better Jakarta offspring to grow. This "poll" and comparison are like comparing apples to coffee beans..
Lmao I guess the coffee beans are Jakarta? Which Indian varieties do you prefer or recommend over Jakarta? I really like how intense it is but I did notice some ripening issues in the fruits I got and from what I'm reading, its productivity is trash. So yeah, what are some superior varieties with a similar flavor profile?
Jakarta is not a true Indian variety. It was a chance seedling from Boynton Beach that may have Bombay in its parentage.
If you want a more productive tree with that flavor profile of Jakarta, I would recommend O-15 or Sunrise.
If you want a recommendation for Indian varieties, I would go with Kesar ir Son Pari (for that resin type of profile) and Mallika (for pure outstanding flavor without the resin).
