Congrats it’s a great one to have, ive eaten it and other varieties in costa rice and Colombia. This one Frankie has I would rate the best quality. the fruits vary a lot in quality from seed. I’m guessing you purchased a grafted tree? How big Is your tree?

Thanks Ben Mango, yea I was impressed by how much I liked the fruit. Tried it years ago on Big Island but don't remember it tasting that great. The tree I have was grafted and bought from Frankie's. Been growing about 4 or 5 years and still only 5ft tall.

My tree made its first fruit and got taste it today. The flavor was good like sweet pumpkin and the flesh is very juicy. There were 5 seeds but 4 of them were aborted, only one seed is plump. This is a selected variety from Frankie's nursery called "dulce". Open to trades, mostly looking for species of plinia, myrciaria, and garcinia. The tree has a few more fruits that will be ready soon so I may have more of these to trade.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Relocating achacha

« on: June 16, 2022, 10:42:02 PM »

Thanks for ur comments yea iv considered removing the palm, I'd have to run the idea by my Pops first. It does kinda block solar panels on the house as well. Aside from removing an old beautiful palm from the yard I'm sure the cost of taking a palm this big would cost some big bucks. Iv got 2 other achacha the same size in better locations so it's a hard decision to make. It's worth looking into removing the palm though. That palm heart would definitely be huge and tasty, iv had hearts of a few different types of palm here. My favorite way to eat them is oil, salt pepper and throw on BBQ sliced up. Last year we took down a coconut and the heart was really good.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Relocating achacha

« on: June 16, 2022, 04:02:11 AM »

Hi I have an achacha that I'd like to dig up and relocate to another place in my yard and would like to get any advice that will help the relocation be successful. The tree is about 7 years old, reason I'm moving it is because I stupidly planted it 8 feet away from a 40 foot royal palm. The royal palm drops huge fronds and seed pods that damage the achacha. It only had 4 leaves when I planted it in the ground and it's a miracle the achacha survived all these years under the palm. This last year my achacha took a few hard hits and some branches cracked at the main stem giving ants a place to enter the tree. I sprayed a sealer over the wounds which seems to have deterred the ants. Finally realized that the larger my achacha gets the more chance there is for it to get hit by the dropping palm fronds. Especially with the horizontal shape the tree is taking. At this point I'm convinced the best chance the tree has will be relocating it. My plan is to move the tree when there is wet weather expected sometime around October, in the beginning of our rainy season and the days are getting shorter. About 6 weeks before the removal I'll dig into the ground deep as I can with my mud gun in a circle around the tree about 2 feet from the trunk, and do it again at 3 weeks. That way the roots don't all have to be cut on the day of removal. Also was thinking I should prune the tree back about two thirds prior to moving it. I figure I'd need 3 friends to help pull the root ball up and help man handle it to the new hole. Then lots of water for the achacha while it gets used to its new home. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it. I'd be pretty bummed if I killed it durring the move but I think the tree is gonna take a direct hit one of these days and die anyway.

I have this variety, it's definitely cempedak, not cempejak. Goes into full paralysis at the slightest cold and more hairs on top of leaves than something with jak genetics

Here is a pic of my grafted Sri gudang on jack roostock, no hairs on leaves. Is yours a seedling or grafted? Bought it from Frankie's nursery and was told it's a jackfruit cempedak hybrid. Iv tasted a few different varieties of cempedak and Sri gudang has a balanced flavor of jackfruit and cempedak very good flavor. Hope this helps

Hi all...
Sorry I'm late for this season. Because I can't update my posts in this forum. I have tried writing a few posts and it works, but when I make a full post more than 60+ species it always "server hangs up" I don't know why. So I decided to write a post on my personal blog. This is a link for those of you who want to see a collection of fruit or want to buy seeds, there I write a full list.
