Feels like a bag of cement to me.
It's a beauty.
Now this is a seedling Jakfruit Tree
Jakfruits are one of the most stunning trees
and impressive trees and that's basically because of the size
of the fruit. So they do produce the largest fruit
in the world with some varieties producing fruit that are 20
kg or 24kg even so really big fruit.
so really big fruit
and we're going to try picking one of these big ones today
and getting it back. So it weighs about as much as a bag of cement.
and we have got to carry it down the hill
But this seedling tree would be about 20 years old and it's
quite a large tree
They fruit off their main trunk and branches
and unusually they can also fruit off their roots.
if they're exposed so they can produce fruit on the ground
but most of them come off the main trunk and branches closest
to the trunk and obviously that is where the wood is the thickest.
so it can hold the weight of
of the fruit
great tree to grow
you do need a frost free
location so they are going to
prefer the tropics or the
subtropics but they are also
quite a hardy tree so if you
want to grow them outside
of that range and
you've got a frost free location
they're certainly worth trying.
They make a great win break
tree so seedling trees are ideal
for that and they're actually
great for protecting your more
sensitive trees like lychees
from strong winds so grow
your jakfruits on the outside
and give them plenty of room
so that they can grow into the
beautiful majestic tree that
that they are
