Artocarpus heterophyllus commonly called Jackfruit originated in India and South East Asia. In 1887 it was introduced in Florida. It has since adapted well in tropical climate and is fairly popular in Jamaica, Brazil, Suriname and Guyana.
Jackfruit trees are stately, growing to an enormous height of sometimes 70ft to 90 ft tall and Jackfruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world. It is edible and yellow in colour. Large fruits may have from 100 to 500 seeds.
