Jackfruit Tree, Relocation.

Bought 4 numbers of Tekam Yellow J33 Jackfruit plants back in early August. All were planted next to the creek. 3 were on a slight slope about 3 ~ 4 above water level. 1 was planted next to the creek, maybe about 2 feet above water level, on a raised ground.
The Jackfruit that was planted too close to the creek.

Jackfruit Tekam Yellow 1 planted next to the creek.

Jackfruit Tekam Yellow 2 planted next to the creek.

Jackfruit Tekam Yellow 3 planted next to the creek.
I realized that the one closest to the creek was not doing well as there was no growth. Leafs dropped.
The 3 plants provided some newly growth scion for my grafting trial but not the one that was too close to the creek. It fact it got worst.

Getting worst.

Finally had to relocate it.
Got it relocated on the 6th Oct. This new location is close to the 3 that were doing well. Those 3 donated scion for the third time. Was grateful even in low quantity, as it's only about 2 months. Checked on the relocated Jackfruit and it was showing signs of new budding just a few days ago, before I left for my trip home. I'm sure it shall start donating scions next month.

I shall be looking into other varieties like Mastura J37, CJ3, CJ6 and the New Red Jackfruit, Borneo Red of Songsang Red.
