(Baonghean.vn) - In recent days, people in the "land of jackfruit" Thanh Chuong - Nghe An have been buzzing about a strange jackfruit tree. The tree trunk was cut down a year ago, but it bears a lot of fruit from the base.

This resilient jackfruit tree of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thuy's family in Hamlet 3, Thanh Chi Commune is located in the back garden, on the border between Mrs. Thuy's house and her parents-in-law's house. The special thing is that the jackfruit tree is only 30 cm high, 20 cm in diameter, has no branches or leaves, but around it there are many fruits.

According to observations, there are currently 12 fruits around the base, both large and small. Each cluster has 1 to 3 fruits, the largest fruit is the size of a soccer ball. According to the homeowner, at first, the jackfruit tree had dozens of small fruits, then 16 fruits and 4 fruits have ripened, picked and eaten by Ms. Thuy's family and neighbors.

Ms. Thuy said that this jackfruit tree was originally a soft jackfruit tree (honey jackfruit), planted by her father-in-law, Mr. Nguyen Nghia Vo (84 years old) about 20 years ago. In February 2016, Ms. Thuy's family hired an excavator to lower the height of the garden to 1.5 m.

The soil around the jackfruit tree was dug up. In April 2016, Ms. Thuy’s family cut down the tree. In the fall, new, green shoots sprouted from the jackfruit tree. When the branches were nearly 1 meter high, some villagers came and cut them to feed the goats. The jackfruit tree was bare again.

Strangely, in early 2017, when the jackfruit tree was in fruiting season, dozens of jackfruits suddenly appeared around the base of the tree. Ms. Thuy said: “I thought the jackfruit tree was just producing fake fruit, but unexpectedly, the jackfruits all set and grew normally like other jackfruit trees. The jackfruits were ripe and eaten, the segments were still big and sweet like the jackfruits before the tree was cut down.

The jackfruit tree without trunk or branches, but bearing many fruits of Mrs. Thuy's house has become a strange story in this countryside. Recently, local people and many curious people from everywhere, hearing about the jackfruit tree, have flocked to Mrs. Thuy's house to see and take pictures.

Mr. Dau Ba Toi (24 years old), a student at Van Xuan University of Technology, said: "I find the jackfruit tree strange in that it has a bare trunk but still produces many fruits, and the fruits are still big. The tree has no trunk, no branches and few leaves, so how can it photosynthesize to synthesize organic matter, and the fruits are still big?"

Since the strange jackfruit tree has borne fruit, many people have come to Mrs. Thuy's house. She added: "Since a young man in the village posted pictures online, many people have come to my house to see the jackfruit. Sometimes at night, people come to film and take pictures..."

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lam (61 years old) - a villager, confirmed: "A bare jackfruit tree that bears so much fruit is a strange thing here, I only saw it now when I was a child."

In the middle of the busy harvest season, many people from the "land of the jackfruit" still take time to see the strange jackfruit tree and take photos as souvenirs.
