Jakfruit on the Far South Coast?? (forum)

LucyT starts with ...
Hi, I am hoping for identification of this plant. The tree is around 15m high and growing happily in a paddock 10 mins out of Bega. It looks like a Jakfruit I think! But so far south? And obviously the fruit is still immature. At this stage it’s the size of a large softball. Any ideas and info much appreciated.

Hi LucyT,

It is a Breadfruit not Jackfruit. I am a bit surprise that Breadfruit can grow and fruits in Bega NSW. Cheers
