Could be the picture but leaves look a little narrow for jackfruit.

Not the best image for identification, but it definitely is a Moraceae.

Not G. livingstonei. I don't have the breadth of knowledge that many forum members do, but I do know imbe and that is not a picture of imbe.

Thats most likely a jackfruit in full sun, mine in full sun has narrow leaves. Its a type of jackfruit tho, the branch structure gives it away.

Huh?  Jackfruit in full sun have narrow leaves?  Mine and many healthy jackfruit  i have seen in full sun have just the opposite. 

While i am not saying it definitely not a jackfruit,  Joe said it just "showed up" in his yard...jackfruit trees dont tend to just "show up" if not planted or seeds not disbursed.

Its very similar then, A picture of the whole tree would help a lot more in identifying

I have a Mai 1 and it was in shade with big leaves, Now its in full sun the leaves have narrowed and shrank to half the size and they sort of look similar. I was thinking it just could've been a variety of jackfruit but i guess there are a great deal of other species including ornamental with a similar appearance.
