Quite normal...Adam's happens to have almost, if not an actual, perfect shape.

[FlyingFoxFruits]

Opuntia sp., 1 ripe fruit with many other fruits at various stages. Just for reference that ripe fruit is about the size of a medium apple. I made sure to get a pad of this plant! Possibly about +300 fruits on the plant as whole, I was unable to get an overview picture (since the Opuntia was overhanging a fence).

Nice! Picture!!

It reminds me of fish in the sea! but with rooster like heads?

I'm a bit crazy though.

Very nice composition!

Thanks Adam, the fruit is a mystery from this one. I was unable to try it out due to the height, it seems the pads must be good eating though. The owner sure likes to cut them off with a ladder.

Howdy Adam,
Thanks, Buddy...happy you liked the assortment Those persimmons are from the same tree(don't know the cv) the red one is fully ripe...i wouldn't dare to bite into the other one   Them passions are two types of edulis x flavicarpa and flavicarpa. Those monstera's took very long to ripen The abacaxi was truly amazing and very sweet...i  thought it would be on the sour side Hopefully, the 2nd generation will bear larger fruits

A photo of a couple loosing their Jackfruit virginity?  Sounds too juicy for a family board to me.  I hope it isn't disqualified 

How long did it take you guys to process the Jackfruit?  I must admit that I'm really very bad at processing Jackfruit since the arils are surrounded by tough rubbery strands.  The first time I took apart a Jackfruit it took me around 3 hours; while I've gotten better at it I think I need to take a "disassembling a Jackfruit 101" course.

Hi, today I took photos to a 50 or so years old feijoa we found in my city, Junin, Buenos Aires, Argentina... it's 6 metters tall.

Hahaha that's funny

That jack stood no chance. We ate the entire thing in about 45 minutes. It was i think a 15lb fruit? smaller for sure but damn tasty!!

This photo taken in Sri Lanka by me in July 2011. It illustrates the size of old seedling durian. It was really big and very impressive tree, although photo does not do full justice. You need to zoom to a full size, and than start noticing small green dots (durians). There was 300+ durians on this tree. It was impossible to count even on one main branch. Notice slippery stainless steel sheet on the trunk, meant to prevent squirrels and monkeys climbing the tree. Once you click on the picture, click one more time for a full zoom.

Luke,
Awesome Jackfruit you have there I presume you bought this Jack from the Chinese Market? I wish i had a China Town over here

DurioLuva,
WoW that Durian tree is fully loaded with fruits I reckon this tree is at least 80 years old...from what i read, the older the tree, the better. People pay good amount of dough/cash, to buy fruits from old trees.

Thanks Steven,

There were another two very big trees, and temporarily guard shelter set up to collect falling durians. Owner is making serious dough, especially for this part of the world. But the guard undercut official market rates, and probably the real owner by selling me two durians close to $2 each.

Jackfruits from US supermarkets are quite expensive $2/lb. Those sold in the northern states are usually under ripe, than I have no choice but stir fry it for rice and curry.

[NewGen]

Durian Lover: what a great photo! If I were the owner I'd have an occasional give-away, anyone who can stand under the tree and catch a falling durian with their hands can have it for free. Maybe titled the event as Tough Man of Sri Lanka? Kinda like the Tough Guy shows I see on TV here in the USA. 8-))

We had good light today and I liked this little bunch of mulberries hiding from the afternoon sun
