Started propagating Jackfruit - where to get other varieties in QLD, Aus?

[DurianLover]

You can take a day tour of John and Lyndall Picone's farm in Tyagarah NSW and go on a sampling adventure of their various jackfruit crosses if I remember correctly its $20 (Oz) per person for the whole afternoon. They've got a lot of other exotic fruit trees, vege, herbs and such in their collection - visitors are allowed to eyeball the whole farm and eat whatever is available - ripe pickings. Not sure if they can help you ship seeds / seedlings out of Australia but you can probably ask they're very nice people. Took a tour of the Picone Farm a year or so ago if I remember correctly they have about 200+ kinds of fruit trees on their property - not counting their own crosses.

Oh, thanks for the tip. This will be on my wish list. I keep saying to myself: next year I'll go Australia, but than it does not happen for one reason or another. So, maybe next year (again!!!).

Had a look at Daleys for Jakfruit - Tyagarah Vanilla and it's $52 for a 7 inch pot.

A little out of my price range and could not even guarantee survival out in the ground due to the deer, wallabies, cows, kangaroos, echidnas etc.

I think I may stick with the constant seedlings I am getting and hoping for the best.

Might want to ask John Picone for Tyagarah Vanilla seedlings directly - skip the middleman.
