Description

The Breadfruit Tree (Artocarpus altilis) is a fast-growing, tropical tree native to the South Pacific and widely cultivated in tropical regions for its large, starchy fruit. Reaching heights of 40 to 60 feet, it features broad, deeply lobed, glossy green leaves that give it a lush, ornamental appearance. The tree produces round to oval fruit with a rough, green exterior and creamy white flesh that becomes soft and bread-like when cooked—hence the name “breadfruit.”

Highly valued as a staple food in many tropical cultures, breadfruit is rich in carbohydrates, fiber, and essential nutrients. The tree thrives in warm, humid climates with well-drained soil and full sun, and it’s relatively low-maintenance once established. It can bear fruit within 3 to 5 years and continues producing for decades, making it an important crop for food security. In addition to its edible fruit, the Breadfruit Tree provides shade, timber, and even medicinal uses, making it a versatile and culturally significant species in many parts of the world.
