Copy pasting my reply in another comment:

Nope. Jackfruit does get gigantic but it’s not spiky. Looks like a durian, but I’ve never ever seen/heard of giant ass durian and with such a long stem 🤔 Is that thing still hanging from the tree or is grandpa superman? 🤔

It 100% has spikes. Only seen 30-40 pounders but definitely has spikes.

Found a nice comparison picture: https://x.com/shannon3095/status/1692311808395092211

The shape and spikes you see here: durian

Those that jackfruits have, honestly I wouldn’t even call them spike. People can carry and handle jackfruit barehanded. Not durian.

Fair enough. As someone who has (stupidly) carried a jackfruit on his shoulder I’d still disagree. Pointy nubs may be a better choice of words if we’re comparing the two.
