Artocarpus elasticus is a large rainforest tree of Southeast Asia, reaching up to 45 m, known as terap. Juveniles form huge deeply lobed leaves, and it is grown mainly as a forest or specimen tree rather than as a common garden plant.
Artocarpus elasticus of the Mulberry Family (Moraceae) and commonly called terap nasi or terap, is a rainforest tree of maritime and mainland Southeast Asia, growing up to 45 metres (150 ft) (occasionally as much as 214 feet (65 meters)) in height with a diameter at breast height of about 1 metre (3 ft). The juvenile trees are noteworthy for producing a rosette of enormous deeply lobed leaves similar in shape to those of the white oak (Quercus alba), but up to 2 metres (6 ft) long by about 1.2 metres (4 ft) in width. The stipules are up to eight inches (twenty centimeters) long, among the largest known. These leaves emerge from leaf buds as long as 18 centimetres (7 in). The trees are dioecious (male and female flowers on separate trees). It produces a fruit like a small breadfruit. The male capitulae produce clouds of pollen, and pollenisation is apparently by wind.
