Jakfruit













Today I checked out the Jakfruit tree right next to the stand. It volunteered about 15 years ago and seems to like it where it is. Very productive, its flowering now with fruit still on the tree. One interesting quality of the Jakfruit is cauliflory, that is fruit is born directly from the branch. This makes sense as some of the fruits can be over 30 pounds!
