What more does the Museum of Fine Arts have to do to earn your amazement? If last month’s big red “Breathing Flower’’ inflatable on the museum’s Huntington Avenue lawn didn’t bloom in you some springtime wonder, maybe a bigger inflatable ball of fruit at Faneuil Hall will.

“Fruit Tree,’’ another sculpture by South Korean artist Choi Jeong Hwa, sprouted over the downtown marketplace Friday afternoon, a branching-out of the MFA’s “Megacities Asia’’ exhibit. The museum spared little in raising the botanical behemoth, from a soundtrack that included Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti’’ and The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb’’ to remarks from Mayor Martin J. Walsh.

“I was trying to explain to someone what I’d be doing today,’’ Walsh told the assembled crowd, which had gathered in anticipation. “I told them I was gonna blow up a fruit tree.’’ With his blessing, the tree arose to “Pump Up the Jam,’’ and a few groans.

Alice Snyder, in town from Seattle to visit family, said she leaped at the opportunity to take in some local color.

“I imagined something two-thirds or half the size,’’ she said. “We saw the exhibit yesterday and knew we had to see this. It’s definitely a once in a lifetime thing.’’

Though also inexperienced with watching huge fruit inflate, Nilo Fallah-Sohy of Boston said she had visited “Breathing Flower’’ at the MFA and hoped for a similar thrill from “Fruit Tree.’’

“This is much better,’’ she said. “More grand. Besides, we’d just be sitting at our desks otherwise.’’

Compared to the 20-foot-wide “Breathing Flower,’’ “Fruit Tree’’ is 23 feet tall when fully inflated, with the “selfie magnet’’ pull of a small, fruity planet. For passersby who feel so attracted, the MFA is offering free admission to anyone who takes a “fresh pic’’ with the tree through July 17. In all, it’s a cheery symbol of spring at last, if not also a symbol of the MFA’s abundant bounty of giant inflatables.
