Artocarpus heterophyllus or jackfruit, I'm surprised to learn, is a a species of tree in the fig and mulberry family. The fruit can be as heavy as 55 kg and it can grow to 90 cm in length, and 50 cm diameter, so big and many times bigger than the average fig and mulberry fruits too; and boy, do they look so different! Many people enjoy its sweet fruits; and I enjoy watching the fruits hanging from its trunk too!
