From what I have been told all three were selected by a gentleman in our area along with Richard Wilson of Excalibur from a group of seedlings. My assumption is that the jakfruit is "SOMEWHAT" true to seed, so I would assume they are from the same planting, and thus very similar.
What is the difference between Mai 1,2,3?thanks,-Ethan

He planted them out and Richard went to sample the fruit from the various trees. Richard picked the three best, in his opinion, and named them Mai 1, Mai 2 and Mai 3 after the man.
Thank you gentlemen, there is info on the net about them but it is very limited. Do they all produce about the same time of year or is one early, middle and late? Same amount of latex?-Ethan
