it is a jackfruit tree loaded with fruit in seminole florida. i actually love how informal this statement is. the particular person did not get out of the automotive, or maintain their arm or door out of the body, possibly the automotive did not even cease. if it was a drive-by taking pictures, then it was the very best type. no matter how informal the {photograph} is, it really works. we will all clearly see the topic… a jackfruit tree.
the “minor” element is that the poster did not label the tree as a jackfruit and even as a tree (no “tree” possibility on inaturalist). i solely discovered this statement whereas shopping the mission for unknown moraceae (366 ends in florida). observations aren’t manually added to the mission. they’re robotically added by a program written by jean-philippe basuyaux.
for additional information on inaturalist please see my earlier thread.
listed here are jackfruit observations on inaturalist
wild jackfruit (4,675 outcomes)
wild/cultivated jackfruit (8,522 outcomes)
florida jackfruit (167 outcomes)
california jackfruit (20 outcomes)
these aren’t together with all of the unlabeled jackfruit observations.
the first consequence for florida is (was) truly a ficus auriculata. that is humorous as a result of i have been looking for each statement of this species on inaturalist. within the poster’s protection, each auriculata and jackfruit are cauliflorous and in the identical household. did they inherent cauliflory from their final widespread ancestor or did they evolve it independently (convergent evolution)? is a cauliflorous fig the scale of a jackfruit doable?
the first consequence for california is a pic i took of a newly planted jackfruit at the la arboretum. i am actually rooting for this man!
on inaturalist, for shopping i like to recommend the grid view. however the map view could be very helpful for seeing the place jackfruit may be grown open air, with a number of apparent indoor exceptions.
getting again to the seminole jackfruit, and the primary level of this thread, is that it is planted within the entrance yard, however on the surface of the fence. which was 1st, the jackfruit or the fence? does the jackfruit being on the surface of the fence robotically imply that it is okay for random folks to select the fruit? if the jackfruit tree was any nearer to the road a fruit would possibly fall on a automotive.
fences are helpful as a result of they outline the place our property ends and begins. however some locations do not permit fences in entrance yards. in these circumstances, the farther from the road a tree is, the much less acceptable it’s for a random passerby to select the fruit.
personally, i want everybody planted fruit bushes of their entrance yards proper subsequent to the road. from the sidewalk we should always be capable of choose figs the scale of jackfruit. that is how the world needs to be.
