I do not have a Jack Fruit tree in my garden. Jack Fruit tree is a big tree and needs space to grow. Recently, during our visit to an Agro Farm, we saw a Jack Fruit tree and it bore fruits very low to the ground. The fruits are bore from the trunk or branches of the trees.
This is quite a young tree and it is not that big yet.
These are normal size Jack Fruits found at a stall.
This is how a whole Jack Fruit looks like.
The inside of a Jack Fruit after being cut open. We need to wear a disposal glove or oil our fingers, hands and the knife used to cut the Jack fruit.
I bought a packet of Jack Fruit flesh. 5-6 pieces of Jack fruit flesh costing about RM3.00 (approx. 0.74 USD) per packet.
The seed is inside the Jack fruit flesh.
The fruit is fleshy and sweet. It has a fruity, sweet aroma. A skin covered the seed.
A seed with the outer skin removed.

Combs of bananas on sale in front of a house. These bananas are small and it is called hairy bananas or "mo chew" in Cantonese. 2 small bites to finish a banana.
A small fish pond with gold fishes.
Can you see the uninvited guest in my garden? I didn't know it was there sitting in the flower pot until I sprayed it with water and it moved and gave me a fright.
I think it is still there somewhere hiding in between the pots.
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
Then the Lord said to Moses,
"Go in again to Pharaoh and tell him,
'Jehovah says, "Let my people go and worship me.
If you refuse, I will send vast hordes of frogs
across your land from one border to the other.
(Exodus 8:1-2, TLB)
hairy bananas are interesting and jack tree too. I hate frogs and I afraid of them
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gosia. I am afraid of frogs too!
DeleteI love your sharing of the exotic things that only your part of the world has:) It's a wonderful blessings! Frogs do startle me too...but they are wonderful creatures...very good for your garden...they eat the bugs and pest that attacks your plants, including mosquitoes and flies, that I fear the most in a garden!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annie. Even though I am afraid of frogs, I know of their usefulness. I left it be and hope it will get rid of the bugs and pests in my garden for me. I only hope that when I am doing my weeding, it doesn't give me a fright again. Lol!
DeleteIntresting to see the JAck fruit opened up. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret. Have a lovely weekend too!
DeleteJack Fruit sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI see that frog in your garden :)
Thank you, Margaret. That is quite a big frog in my garden.
DeleteThe frog will certainly help in eating some of the insects, it was certainly some size. I have never some across a Jack fruit before, most interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas. Jack fruit is one of the common tropical fruits in our country.
DeleteNancy, I love to eat nangka! But I dislike peeling the fruit due to the sap.
ReplyDeletePeeling the nangka is a lot of messing work. I will just buy a packet to enjoy but it is getting more expensive.
DeleteVery good eyes you have Nancy! I wouldn't be able to notice that critter..
ReplyDeleteI didn't see it earlier. It was only after it moved that I took a closer look!
DeleteI can imagine the smell and the taste of this fruit. :)
ReplyDeleteThe fruit is very delicious!
DeleteThe jack fruit I find intriguing and would love to try it. Love your little frog. Have a good day Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. Have a good day too!
DeleteWe can buy Jack Fruit in the supermarkets here, but it is not cheap!
ReplyDeleteIt is neither cheap here in spite being a local fruit.
DeleteHello, the Jack Fruit look interesting, I would like to try it. The goldfish are pretty. Lovely flowers. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Have a happy weekend too!
DeleteThanks for sharing this Nancy, as I've never heard of let alone seen a Jack Fruit before! It looks soft and sweet indeed! That's a lovely pond of fish and I spied the frog among your pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteI posted about frogs today too!
Thank you, Christine. I will be over to check on your frongs.
Deletethe bananas look like the apple bananas I see in Maui
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteThe banana are a great size for kids snacks. I never tasted Jack fruits.
ReplyDeleteI love having frogs and toads in my garden to eat bugs. I welcome them and I make sure they have plenty of shade to hide under, during hot weather. They need to keep moist. They are an important part of our ecosystem. I'm sure the toad got frightened too, haha.
Have a great weekend Nancy.

DeleteThat's quite a frog!
ReplyDeleteI think it is quite happy in my garden. I saw it again this morning.
DeleteHello Nancy!:) I'm glad you made a post with more pictures of Jack fruit.I was interested in how it tasted on your last post, and now I have a better idea, and it looks good.I hope your resident froggie doesn't give you another fright, or keep you awake at night. Have a great weekend!:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Breathtaking. I am more careful now to lookout for the frog especially when I am doing my weeding.
DeleteNancy, as an after thought I went back to your Agro Farm post just to see if you had answered my query. Thank you Nancy!:)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Breathtaking. I will always try to answer your questions if I have the answers. Have a great weekend!
DeleteI like to eat jackfruits. I had to look at the photo again to find the toad or is that a frog.
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether it is a toad or a frog, so I just called it a frog. Lol!
DeleteLovely post dear! Have a great weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beauty. Have a lovely weekend!
DeleteI take bananas more often than jackfruit as I knew that jackfruit is very heaty, so can eat moderately only. The jackfruit flesh looks thick & juicy. Oh, no, I spotted the uninvitied guest hiding there.
ReplyDeleteI too ate more bananas than jack fruits. Have a great weekend!
DeleteI think it is fascinating how there are different fruits in the tropics. I've never had Jackfruit but I'd like to try it.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you would love jack fruits. Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteI had to take a second look to catch that frog in amongst the flowers.
ReplyDeleteIf the frog hadn't moved, I wouldn't have noticed it.
DeleteI've seen jack fruits here in our produce stores but have never eaten a fresh one. Only the one from the can. One day I like to have the fresh one but need someone to share it with. It was interesting to see the inside of the fruit.
ReplyDeleteI have only tasted the fresh ones but have never tasted the canned or dried ones before. The whole fruit is big enough to share with many people. Have a great weekend!
DeleteThat frog is kinda cute! It has a lovely home too, all those colourful flowers. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacy. This morning I saw the frog again. I think it has decided to make his home in my garden.
DeleteSuch fascinating tropical fruits! I'd never heard of a jack fruit before.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marie. It is a very common fruit over here. Have a lovely day!
