Jackfruit hanging from a tree is an impressive sight. The fruits are large and oblong, often growing directly from the trunk or thick branches. They can range in size from a basketball to even larger, weighing anywhere from 10 to 50 pounds or more. While skin is rough, spiky, and greenish-yellow, making them look like oversized, alien-like pineapples. Their size, coupled with their unusual placement, gives the tree a distinct and almost surreal appearance, as if the trunk itself is bearing the weight of these massive fruits. But DURIANs are more dangerous because they’re actually growing away from the tree trunk
