The jackfruit is the largest tree fruit, reaching as much as 55 kg (120 pounds) in weight, 90 cm (35 inches) in length, and 50 cm (20 inches) in diameter. [7] [8] A mature jackfruit tree produces some 200 fruits per year, with older trees bearing up to 500 fruits in a year.
Pineapple is a kind of multiple fruit. Multi-fruits, also called collective fruits, are fruiting bodies formed from a cluster of flowers, the inflorescence. Each flower in the inflorescence produces a fruit, but these mature into a single mass. [1] After flowering, the mass is called an infructescence.
It bears long bunches of 15 to 25 fruits that are around 3.2 cm (1.3 in) long and 2.7 cm (1.1 in) in diameter. It is almost seedless, with each fruit having 0 to 2 seeds. It has an upright habit, with narrower leaves. The sweet thin-skinned fruits exude latex even when ripe. Ripe fruits are around 16 °Bx after 3 days from harvest. [5] [6] [7]
Biribá is a fast-growing, flood-tolerant, sun-loving tropical tree, with leaves up to 35 cm (14 in) long. It can reach a height of 4–15 m (13–49 ft), which can bear fruit from seed within 3 years. [4] The fruit is large, conical or round, green when unripe, ripening to yellow. Its surface is covered with soft spines or protuberances which ...
In some trees, like jackfruit, some citrus, and avocado, the seeds can be found already germinated while the fruit goes overripe; strictly speaking this condition cannot be described as vivipary [citation needed], but the moist and humid conditions provided by the fruit mimic a wet soil that encourages germination. However, the seeds also can ...
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.
During fruit ripening, gluconeogenesis also increases. [9] Acids are broken down in ripening fruits [12] and this contributes to the sweeter rather than sharp tastes associated with unripe fruits. In some fruits such as guava, there is a steady decrease in vitamin C as the fruit ripens. [13]
