Breadfruit-A Tree of Importance to Hawaii

[@lolitatoves5537]

Thank you. Another way is to get new plant from traveling roots. Our variety of the fruit tree does that and we have to control the new growth, or our back yard will turn like the jungle of breadfruit trees at the hillside across our home. Love the fruit and your institute. I just wish I could make ulu chips like ones being brought in by returning travelers.

Beautiful work with a beautiful tree - thank you. It's a shame to see how many tropical nations are importing grains rather than simply growing breadfruit for their sustenance. Keep up the good work.

Breadfruit, the descendant of the Breadnut tree of New Guinea and Melanesia that has large edible seeds (nuts) The seedless variety has to be grown from cuttings. There are so many wonderful varieties of Breadfruit. A crucial staple for many Islanders and those in the tropics.

In Gusm, we cook wedge sliced breadfruit in coconut milk with or without salt and/or sugar.; or add in layers some slices of bbq beef or pork. We also roast over bbq pit. We also make donuts, pound cakes, muffins, I've never tried cooking in soups, curries, etc., and I'm aiming to try it. Yumm sounds good!!

I'm so impressed with the breadfruit's versatility. I can't understand why we don't see fries, chips, doughnuts, icecreams, etc or anything novel here in california from it so far.

Breadfruits were the main source of foods in Haiti for Haitians, now they are disappearing and we do not know how to grow them back. Can you help us?

[@NTBGSavePlants]

The Breadfruit Institute has partnered with an organization that is planting breadfruit trees in Haiti. Watch the Institute's Facebook page at: facebook.com/BreadfruitInstitute and visit the website at: ntbg.org/breadfruit for information on planting projects.

SAMOA ISLANDS ALWAYS EAT BREADFRUIT. IN DIFFERENT WAYS. WITH COCONUT MILK AND BURN SUGAR. ANYMORE QUESTION ASK ANY SAMOA OR TONGA. CAUSE WE STILL USE OLD SCHOOL.

[@supersonicadonis78]

[@atuatasi334]

Could you plant it by cutting!?!?

[@NTBGSavePlants]

samoa mosamoa Traditionally through root cuttings or root shoots. Please see our webpage regarding propagation methods for breadfruit: ntbg.org/breadfruit/breadfruit/propagation1.php

[@atuatasi334]

NTBGSavePlants how about by seed!? Please im trying to grow them for my family thanks

[@NTBGSavePlants]

samoa mosamoa Most varieties are not seeded. If you are asking about a particular variety that is seeded, please email our Breadfruit Institute at [e-mail] so that one of our breadfruit experts can help you.

Please email [e-mail] directly with your question. Mahalo!

[@mls55]

NTBGSavePlants the seeded variety of bread fruit we have is not the variety that my friend thought that they had planted. Will this propergate from seed will pruning bring this to the more densely foliaged pictures of Hawaii..
