Robert P starts with ... My best eating Jackfruit variety is not really a pure jackfruit, but a chempedak x jackfruit hybrid called "e;Cheena"e;. This variety has minimal rags compared with most other varieties and the arils are very large. Flavour is excellent and flesh would be regarded as a soft type, the seeds are also large and are very good to eat when cooked. Fruit size is not too big, with most fruit being under 10kgs and the tree is not as big or vigorous as say "e;Black Gold"e;.

Robert P says... Hi Mike Tr, I have heard some say that Amber is probably the best. My jackfruits and cross were planted back in the very late eighties in the early days of the RFCA and back then they were the better varieties. Now they have been left behind, but I still enjoy eating them, if I didn't rum out of room in my orchard I would plant some others. Are Twisted Chempa and Leopard Skin varieties of straight Chempedak or crosses? Also have you heard of K-jack which is a cross between Jackfruit and Keledang? | About the Author Robert P TALLAI,4213,QLD 5th May 2018 1:15pm #UserID: 18359 Posts: 5 View All Robert P's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... They are pure chempadaks and durian, honey,ch26 and ch36 are examples of excellent varieties as well. I have not heard of K-jack and it seems surprising as they don't look especially closely related. In the late 80's the gold series, galaxy, cochin (cross)and a few others ruled the roost. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 8th May 2018 1:47pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |
