Mysuru: While jackfruits usually grow on the extended branches of the tree, making it difficult for fruit lovers even to reach the branch unless they use a ladder to climb up the tree, there are some trees where fruits are grown on the trunk itself. The trunk bears the fruits from the bottom making it easy for people to pick and savour them once ripe.
In Mysuru too, we have two such trees and it is not very difficult to trace them. One is located at Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama on KRS Road in Yadavagiri and the other is at 'Udayaravi,' the residence of Rashtrakavi Kuvempu in V.V. Mohalla. Incidentally, the State Government is planning to convert Udayaravi into a Museum.
