I wish all seedling fruit trees behaved like that. I've even read on several occasions on this TFForum that the seedling fruit is even better than that of the mother tree. This is why I'm really looking forward from one or more of you guys, in the future, to announce a new Cheena seedling jackfruit variety with even better quality than Cheena and no sticky sap. The financial reward for such a superior Cheena seedling variety would be considerable. It's great to know that you guys are doing this kind of propagation, as Cheena is in a class all by itself.
