Even though he is so old, his yield has not decreased. The tree bears up to 200 jackfruits in one season. Each jackal weighs 3 to 12 kilograms. The jackfruit flavor of this plant is also unique.

But not only this jackfruit tree. Everywhere you look in Panruti area, you can see only jackfruit trees. The strong smell of jackfruit floats in the air. There are piles of jackfruit in every house, jackfruit is being sold on the street. Local people will have this fruit every day to eat.

Recently, an application has been made in the court for the GI recognition of this jackfruit of Panruti.

Such a good koa is not usually seen in every jackal.” Now whether that GI tag matches based on the application, Panruti is waiting.
