Artocarpus hirsutus grows as a canopy tree and can reach a height of up to 35 metres (115 ft) and about 4.5 m (15 ft) in girth. [5] The leaves of this tree are simple and phyllotaxy is alternate.

Artocarpus is a genus of approximately 60 trees and shrubs of Southeast Asian and Pacific origin, belonging to the mulberry family, Moraceae.Most species of Artocarpus are restricted to Southeast Asia; a few cultivated species are more widely distributed, especially A. altilis (breadfruit) and A. heterophyllus (jackfruit), which are cultivated throughout the tropics.
The leaves are much like the flowers when analyzing diversity. The leaves can be singly attached to the stem or alternating, they may be lobed or unlobed, and can be evergreen or deciduous depending on the species in question. [citation needed] The red mulberry can host numerous leaf types on the same tree. Leaves can be both lobed and unlobed ...
Breadfruit trees grow to a height of 26 metres (85 feet). [5] The large and thick leaves are deeply cut into pinnate lobes. All parts of the tree yield latex, [5] which is useful for boat caulking. [7] The trees are monoecious, with male and female flowers growing on the same tree.

The leaves are large and dark green above and lighter below. Trees are dioecious (sexes on separate trees) or sometimes monoecious. Leaves occur in two ranks; stipules are amplexicaul (enclosing the bud). Inflorescences are unisexual, sometimes bisexual, or globose, and borne in the leaf axils or on the older wood and branches.
Artocarpus odoratissimus is an evergreen tree growing to 25 metres (82 ft) tall. The leaves are 16–50 cm (6–20 in) long and 11–28 cm (4–11 in) broad, similar to the breadfruit's, but are a little less lobed. Many trees lose the leaf lobing once mature.
