Like so many other plants, jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) arrived in Brazil by Portuguese hands. Originally from India, jackfruit played an important role in the reforestation of the Tijuca Forest. Because of the lack of water, no other trees could grow. But the tough jackfruit tree did it, and it flourished.
