Any fruit naturally large?
 
So I was taking a look at fruits before humans got into selectively breeding them and it got me thinking, are any fruits naturally large? I mean watermelons were smaller than golf balls. Were any fruits large to start with because I can't find any and figure just statistically there has to be something that evolved fruit larger than my fist.

Jackfruit. It's the world's largest tree-borne fruit. At the very least, it'll give you a jumping-off point.

Durian. They have to put netting under the trees due to how they can drop at a moment's notice for no particular reason. They've been known to kill folk because heavy, large, and spiky durian fruit death from above.

I would've thought it was because of the smell.

While not traditionally thought of as a fruit, nuts are part of the broader biological classification of fruits and products of fruiting plants, and the nuts of the Deez tree are said to be especially impressive in size. Some as big as your head.

If my hate towards you could be used to generate power, we would have have a permanent solution to our energy crisis'

Well, if you're counting nuts, we've got a lovely bunch of coconuts?

That's not a very fruitful discussion.

Don't get so pomeggravated over a simple pun. Keeping this discussion peachful is easier than you'd think.

I'm getting razzed here. I would berry much like it to stop.

Grandmaster_Skweeb 11-14-2014 11:00 PM

What, a conversation on fruits and nuts not very apeeling to you, daimo? Well that's just grape. Take the zest out of life, why don't you.
