This is of the the tree. I had it pruned (half way) a few weeks ago. Couldn't manage to do topping as I couldn't climb up and was exhausted trying. Shall most probably complete the pruning before I go on leave.

| Tree number 1. |
This tree fits the description of J 32 (Mantin). Hope I got it right.
Elliptically shaped, dark green leafs, and edges slightly wavy.
Tip of leaves are long.
As for the fruit, I've couldn't remember.
Oblong-shaped and skin color is yellowish green.
Dented shoulder.
Flesh color is orange yellow, thick, solid, less sweet and grainy, moderately coarse.
Commented as compressed, with little straw.
Tree number 2, by the creek.
This could be J29. I see there are 2 types of leafs on this tree, roundish and elliptic.
Elliptic, dark green leaves, hairy on under the surface and edges slightly choppy. Leafs is similar to J31 but have a longer stalk.
Fruit shaped globular and skin green. (I see the fruit as yellowish green)
Dent shoulder. Flesh color orange yellow, thick, large, firm, sweet fine and grainy. Commented as compressed with little straw.
Had just purchased 4 plants of Nanka Madu (Honey Jackfruit) from a local nursery, Yeoh's Nursery. Pretty nice chap. Had these planted about a month ago, hope to abstract scion from those 4 plants later. 3 of them are doing well, 1 had almost all the leafs dropped, but new butts are growing.

Add extra fertilizer.....Azmi
ReplyDeleteThank you Azmi. I had fertilized the new sapling with chicken dung, organic fertilizer (growth) and foliar spray of Nutra-Phos N (Halex) twice. They are responding well and am already harvesting scion for grafting. The Old 2 tress are fertilized with chicken dung and organic fertilizer (fruiting). These 2 trees had been neglected for a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteAm also harvesting scion for grafting.
Hello Raymond, I would be interested to see how you do the harvesting of scion and grafting. I have always wanted to learn however its either excuse(on my part) or lack of opportunities.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats it being shown, step by step, especially the correct practices.
Thank you.
