Peter Brighton was amazed when he found the giant jackfruit. He had been watching it grow on his farm in far north Queensland, and when it came time to pick it from the tree, it was so heavy it needed two people to do the job.

“I was surprised when we cut it off and felt how heavy it was,” he says. “I grabbed it and my wife cut it – couldn’t do it by myself, it took two of us.”
