They're named after their developer, Charles Everbearing.

Actually, when they're happy, you can get four+ crops per year from them. Mulberries like really good soil and plenty of nutrients and water to produce maximally though. But even in poor conditions, you should still get a pretty decent crop twice a year.

The issue with Jackfruit cultivars is that there is an infinite variety of them. Unlike mangoes and many other fruits where less than 1% of seedlings are going to produce a decent fruit, many jackfruit seedlings are actually pretty good and produce in just a few years. Anyone who grows out a seedling and likes something about it can call it whatever they want and graft out all they can. So  maybe "Crunchy" is just a selected seedling that they are propagating, or it may be that they just planted the seeds of a crunchy fleshed fruit and assumed the seedlings would be similar. I would definitely check for a graft.

If it's that close to the ground, I would skip the bridge graft and just inarch one or two additional rootstocks. The success rate is much higher and it's a lot easier to do.

With most mangoes, the color break is a good determiner, but if you want to get them at their peak, give the mango about a 10-15 degree tilt. If it breaks off, then it's ready, if not, give it a little longer. It's not a practical technique if you're harvesting thousands of mangoes, but for the home grower it yields the best results.

The rain here looks like it starting to ease up. Is there any benefit to letting fruit stay on the trees longer while it dries up, or is the damage done? I've got a lot of mangoes that I could either pick now or maybe wait a week or two.

I've never tasted an Emperor that didn't have the onion flavor, that's why I don't like them. But maybe there's been some sporting over here on the west coast or it's just soil conditions.

Does your Sweetheart have chicken tongue seeds?

Personally, I would go with Sweet Tart or Maha for flavor. I like Glenn too, not because it's especially delicious, but it produces like a monster.

Whatever permanent labels you decide to use it's also good to have a backup map, because some labels always get lost or damaged. Also a map allows you to look at all your plantings at once. Store the map on your hard drive and back up on flash drive or cloud drive. A map also allows you to have information that may not fit on your label, like date of acquisition ans source of acquisition.

Great advice! This is what I am using -

Never heard of that, but for plumeria I don't know why you'd need it. Plumeria grow great from cuttings with or without hormones. Just don't give them too much water until they root.

Definitely worth growing if you can. It's a very finicky, slow growing tree, but the fruit is outstanding. As far as I know, there are no named cultivars, but the one tree I've had fruit from was really, really good

I would add "aftertaste" (i.e. sulfur content) as a criteria. Some jacks have an excellent up front with a less-than-wonderful follow through.

Aroma might be a consideration as well. I've come across several that were worth their price just for the smell alone, even if they didn't taste that good.

Out of about twenty trees, only my Maha Chanok is blooming.
