6 years!  Is the tree producing male flowers? Female flowers and not setting? How tall is it?  What is the truck diameter?

I have 1 I planted last year from the cheena tree at F&S park that is already almost that size, 1.5 meters.  Rip it out or plant some jaks seedlings next to it to approach graft to give it a better root system.

I never read if Cheena's are nice, so are they nice?

Are there more mixed artocarpus fruits? Pedalai x Jack or so.

From what I've been reading here for a while, I've noticed that jackfruit seedlings make great propagation. They grow quick and bear fruit quick. 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.
