The Artocarpus hypargyreus, Kwai Muk, is fruiting for the first time at Leu Gardens. It was planted back in June 2006 and is now about 16ft tall. This is one of the hardier Artocarpus. It has tolerated upper 20sF with only leaf drop. It is hardier than Jackfruit and slightly hardier than Mango. The fruits of this tree are sour, they taste similar to a very acidic loquat. But they are good! I saw this growing well at Selby Gardens in Sarasota years ago and then wanted to try one here.  Kwai Muk is native to southern China. The vine growing underneath it is Piper nigrum, Black pepper Vine.
