Got home today and one of my big J-31 Jakfruits was ready to harvest. I picked this badboy, cleaned it and ate about at least a pound of delicious fruit. I got plenty more to eat and freeze.
Whoever comes closest to guessing the weight is welcome to a free pak of seeds including shipping anywhere in the USA.

I dont even know what a pound is, and am not 'in it to win it' on the seed front, but I'll throw a number in the air.

Here is a pic of a crappy jak I bought on Tuesday from Foodtown as contrast to help people understand how awesome your jak is.

33.33 pounds.
Someday will you share your secrets?
Now that I've apparently killed two more young grafted jacks, I'm willing to beg.
-
So nice Noel!
I am going with 23 pounds.
I have got to get up there and see your yard...it must be amazing!
-
Considering how strong you are Noel, I'm guessing
128lbs. ;D
Ethan you may be confusing Noel with Robert, and the jakfruit with Sheehan (soaking wet of course)! ;) ;D
-
36.2 lbs. If I am lucky enough to be the closest, can you roast the seeds before shipping? :D
-
Noel the fruit looks awesome...
21 lbs...
-
Congrats! Looks beautyful! I guess 28.5 pounds
-
I'll say 38, but as that's been guessed already better make that 39. ;D

Noel- this answer must win for humor factor.

My guess ... 31.5 pounds
Thanks for sharing with us.

Unless of course, the weight is actually 37.8......which it very well might be. This fruit looks to me to be in the 40's in pounds, might be in the upper 30's, but I don't think so. I don't need the seeds so I'll disqualify myself and the next closest would win the seeds if I am closest, but I am going with 42.7 pounds.
-
Changing my guess to 22.1 pounds.
-
Great looking Fruit.

LOL This made me smile. ;D Nice Oscar, that was a good one :P
-
FGM,
Is this a rhetorical question?? Because if it is, my guess is ZERO lbs... Because you ate it all and there is simply nothing left of this delicious specimen of a jackfruit anymore.. :'( :'( ;)
J/k!

Good stuff FGM and I really need to lift my game in the guessing department.I have been swimming in tubs of jack seeds and I am overseas anyway.TG must have had some kinda psychic connection with that fruit

I got a couple of Dang Rasimi jacks hanging on my tree right now. Will do same as soon as i can cut them and weigh them and photo them. I will give you all a hint: they are over 1/4 pound, but under 125 pounds. ;)
-
Great fun- Thanks!
-
I was 4 lbs. away from the correct answer, any second or third prizes? Like purchasing some grafted Big Red sugar apple from you? ;)
Thanks for the contest Noel, enjoyed it big time.
