Jackfruit Tekam Yellow & SongSang Red, Artocarpus Heterophyllus.

Accessed my current Jackfruit status. I have quite a number of rootstock, new and used (failed grafting). The present good planting cultivar in my  possession are
Tekam Yellow J33, 3 infant tree growing, 1 infant tree recovering, 1 recently field transplanted, 1 still waiting for it to grow after graft taking.
Mastura (still trying to confirm if this is classify as J35 or J37), 
CJ3, 1 infant tree waiting for it to grow.
The fruiting tree of J29 & J31, feedback on the fruit is not acceptable. Hence there is no use to graft further. also those grafted & planted ones has to be re-grafted/replaced. Before I left the farm, I was grafting with 2 unknown variety, but fruits were known to be sweet, large and crunchy.

I guess that when I return to the farm, the 3 infant J33 should be able to contribute some scions, but again due to my limited grafting skill (improving), there aren't many successful take.

In order to put Project Jackfruit on a faster track, decide to bring in more Jackfruit plants. Decided to concentrate on Tekam Yellow first as it's fruit characteristic is very popular / in demand. Very Sweet (hence the name Honey), crunchy, golden yellow, longer shelve life, average fruit size (16~20kg).
Tekam yellow is also low in latex content. Jabatan Pertanian also recommend this for commercial planting.

Bought 10 certified plants J33 Tekam Yellow. I guess it's better to go for certified plants as I intent to clone from these. J33 can be identified with it's distinct leafs.

On standby since 22nd March.

I also got some Red Jackfruit from Thailand. Was told that the characteristic is similar with Tekam Yellow, but orangy red flesh. Took 5 for trial.

Need to transport these, soiless and make them grow fast in order to produce more scion later part of the year.
The Tekam Yellow uses the normal bud grafting, but the Red Jackfruit uses the splice graft.

 Maybe I can emulate the splice grafting. Need to study more on this.
