Artocarpus Lanceifolius

Seeds were imported from Indonesia. Artocarpus lanceifolius is a large, evergreen tree growing up to 36 meters tall. The straight bole can be up to 90cm in diameter, sometimes with small buttresses. The edible fruit is sometimes gathered from the wild for local consumption, and is also sold in local markets. The orange pulp surrounding the seeds is eaten. The yellowish-brown, spiny fruits are around 100mm in diameter with many seeds. Keledang fruits resemble jackfruit but have a distinct taste that combines elements of jackfruit and mangosteen. The sweet orange flesh is typically consumed raw, while the seeds can be roasted and eaten. The tree's twigs, leaf stalks, and veins are covered with rigid hair on the underside. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite.
