For those who do not know breadfruit:

 Yes it is a fruit and yes it does look like bread! LOL
Most people do not like breadfruit, a staple of the pacific peoples. You can boil it, fry it, make it into a pie crust (best use in my opinion!), make flour, etc, etc. Very nutritious

The fruit of the tree is green and about the size of a handball, sometimes bigger. The outside flesh is odd, it has a reptilian texture. When mature, the fruit becomes soft, most varieties have no seed. It is white inside and spongy. I like to make pie crust with it, has a slightly sweet taste and blends well with food you cook it with. Some people just cook it in hot coals or in the over

I have never heard of this up till now, you certainly are a wealth of knowlege ! I'm gonna try and get hold of one of these . The leaf looks quite similar to that of a fig tree.

It is worth getting one of these, you need to find a cutting, you MAY find seeds but they are quite rare, most edible species are seedless but you can find a few different species, some more palatable than others. Most people don't like it but I can't go without. This tree is quite a big one, very tall and thin, the new shoot came out after I gave it a high P-K treatment, I will air layer to start a new one in front of the house, it is a very attractive tree that can get some 20 meters high :O, the fruit will fall when ready and mature in a few days without getting damaged by the impact, I usually put them in a bag with some freshly harvested bananas, it ripens to perfection!
I use it to supplement the tubers I grow. Along with Sweet potato, Carrot/potato yam (orange yam), cassava it serves my carbohydrate needs and brings variety to the menu!

Make sure to NEVER feed this tree a high level of Nitrogen it will die quickly!
