Isy starts with ... Is this an Entawak (Artocarpus anisopgyllus)? The tree is over 30 years old and only over the last three years started to have the brown wrinkled things that Cairns Botanic Gardens said it was a male flower of Artocarpus sericicarpus, but this year after the flowering this on fruit appeared which I think looks mor like the description of Entawak rather than Pedalai

trikus says... Is the tree at your place or at Flecker ? Where did you get the tree ? Pics of fruit on front cover of Rare Fruit Review show a very small fruit in a hand of A anisophyllus .. it benefits from cross pollination ..very poor fruit set this year after Yasi . Foliage does not look right for the very similar Keledang that is also known as Artocarpus lancifolius .. these two trees have similar fruits . Isy please share some seeds with collectors of Artocarpus here in the tropics .

Isy says... The tree is at my place in Speewah - it was planted by the previous owner and it was quite a large tree when we bought in 1992. It has done nothing but grower larger until three years ago when it started having the weird wrinkly rusty brown flowers(?) which I took down to Flecker with a leaf. 2010 was an unusual year being wet nearly all year. Last year after the huge wet there was a fairly normal dry except for an unusually wet October and now a dry wet season, so whether the unusual weather conditions have caused it to fruit I don't know - there are two other larger fruit on the tree, but so high up and the tree is about 10metres high so we will just have to wait until the fruit fall down - I will gladly then share seeds with you. About 15 years ago I planted about 50 local trees very close to this tree which have now formed a little rainforest, and I have noticed in my web searching mention of some Artocarpus liking shade so this might be a clue. Jak fruit does very well here.
