Thanks a lot. Can you highlight for the benefit of others. something strange and good about Devanahalli, Jack fruits which is being propagated in its owner name (Forgot his name) and how this is grafted. Read that till some time back Jackfruit grafting was not successful.
Also on Devanahalli “Chakota Fruit” Dont know the english name for this. Can citrus plants be grafted. Recently saw a lemon plant at Lalbagh costing 500 Rs.
Hi?
Soft wood/Stone grafting is best method during soft stem
For older stock plants (with brownish skin) other methods such as veneer grafting, Patch Bud grafting, Approach- grafting are suitable.
Huge Farmers are having very good veriety jack fruit trees.
Chakotha is popular in Devanahally but it is not that much of sweet like Malaysian variety which is growing in Lalbhag. Also heard that one farmer from Belthangady is also having sweet Chakotha.
I have recently planted 10 Jackfruit trees in my farm bought from a Nursery in Hyderabad and this is just out of interest and I know it takes a minimum of 10 years to bear fruit. In telugu I know of two varieties which are 1. Kobara Panasa and 2. Buradha Panasa.

Today I have visited to Meese Hosur near Doddajala of Bangalore where one jack fruit tree was attracted me with its rare kind of fruit bearing time. Sarvamangalamma, the owner of the tree says, after eating a jack fruit, they thrown the seeds in their compound. After few days, they found plenty of small jack sapling out of which the present tree only left to grow when remaining were removed from that place. Now after 20 years, the tree standing taller than their house which is having about dozen jacks which are going to ripe in one month.
1ST BATCH RIPENED FRUITS
I kept my eyes on them during my travel to my project area, but not able to speak to the owners as they was busy with their family function. Finally today when visited and asked about those 4 fruits, informed that they gone in to vain because no one allowed to take nor they consumed for self. I have lost very good rare jack fruits, because of 2 weeks late on approaching them.
On my request, Owner assured to give remaining fruits for me as they are off-season fruits, which I wanted to use for checking their taste as well for raising saplings through seeds for propagation in the nursery.
After little gap, now jack fruit season is started and farmers are getting premium prices for their early fruits.
The fruits in photo are valued at Rs.450/- on first week of Jan-2013 at Doddaballapura near Bangalore.
