Use Mature Jackfruit Scions To Produce "Seedlings With Fruits"
A video and three photos which I posted yesterday showing EVIARC Sweet Jackfruit seedlings with fruits caused a lot of uproar.
Some labeled the photos and video as hoax while others described these as "kagaguhan."
Instead of seeking a scientific explanation to the "Fruiting Seedlings" phenomenon, people dismissed it as a scam to be believed only by fools.
Producing seedlings with fruits was actually the work of plant propagators in my nursery.
I believe they did the experiment just for fun.
They chose mature scions, including those already starting to flower or bearing fruits, in the Inarching process.
Inarching is a method of plant asexual propagation where, instead of cutting the scions and inserting these into rootstocks on the ground, the rootstocks in bags were hung from the branches of the Jackfruit.
The rootstocks are cut and trimmed then inserted into a sliced opening in the side of a mature scion.
In 45 days, the rootstock will "grab" the scion from the Mother Tree and becomes a young tree itself.
So, when the scions are mature, these could produce fruits during the 45-day period.
In fact, in the experiment made by my plant propagators, they Inarched a scion which already had a fruit thus creating a phenomenon of "Fruiting Seedlings."
What my plant propagators did as a fun experiment will actually revolutionize the asexual propagation method of producing true-to-type seedlings.
By choosing mature scions for Inarching, the maturity and fruiting period of asexually propagated seedlings could be shortened from 3 years to 1 year.
We will be using this technique in the farm as we attempt to produce more EVIARC Sweet or Abuyog Sweet seedlings.
