This time they are mostly in clusters

Jack fruits normally are not seen in clusters but one of our trees has loads of clusters. They are all babies as of now but in a couple of months we expect to see a bumper. First time last year we were able to sell them and hopefully this time too that guy will come for them. They need to be lowered by using a rope and that is a difficult task. Do you like jack fruits?

The jackfruit tree in our backyard has got baby many fruits. Every year getting them down is a difficult task for us too. Quite some of them ripe on the tree and fall down to the earth.

We have had those bad days with ripe fruits falling causing a menace with mosquitoes. We have compost pits We even put good jack fruits in there but since last year we have had demand for our fruits. Earlier nuns used to take them for the kids but they too stopped taking them.

@allknowing They are tiny but I meant because of the furry looking outside.

You may or may not like them but nothing like tasting them. You will have Indian shops there.

It is not my favorite fruit - I have eaten it once only - give me a bombay mango instead.
