I'd like to grow few acres on commercial basis. Unfortunately there is very little information available on practical growing. Even though elevation is 630 meters, I think climate is not a problem since many ultra-tropicals like durians and mangosteens are right in the area. My biggest concern is adequate rainfall. Publications mention that cempedak likes climate with no true dry season. We have 2200 mm annual rainfall, with monsoon seasons from May to August and October to January. There is a chance of occasional very brief showers in between. Is this going to be enough for good growth and productive crop? Also can cempedak be pruned like some commercial jackfruit plantations 3-4 meters height only?
BTW, I think the best cempedak I've tasted was dark orange meat in Kuching, Sarawak, but that area gets insane 4200 mm annual rainfall. That's the clone I want grow but vast difference in rainfall makes me wonder...Any tips appreciated.
