Be careful walking under trees in regions with jackfruit.
Each fruit can weigh over 100 pounds and will cause serious injury if one falls on you.
(There are some jackfruit trees in the Hawaii bio diversity preservation park.)
Even coconuts are a hazard, so the various Hawaii governments inspect coconut trees periodically to prevent falling coconuts in tourist areas.

- higerordermap 6y agoIn my observation most species of jackfruit are 10-30 KG around here (in Southern India) and wikipedia confirms this. Not saying it is harmless though. Jackfruit trees are pretty tall around here.
