Ulu (Breadfruit)
(Artocarpus altilis),
Tree of the mulberry family
(Moraceae).
It's large fruits are a
staple food of the South Pacific
and other tropical areas.
Breadfruit contains considerable
amounts of starch and is seldom
eaten raw. It may be roasted, baked,
boiled, fried, or dried and
ground into flour.
The leaves and breadfruit itself
are a historic and popular
Hawaiian Quilt Pattern.
The breadfruit is a superb tree,
about 60 feet high, with
deep green, shining leaves,
a foot broad, sharply and
symmetrically cut, worthy,
from their exceeding beauty
of form, to take the place of the
acanthus in architectural ornament

That first image is me! LOL
ReplyDeleteToday is breadfruit day! I thought that first picture of the fruit on the plant was a tennis ball wedged into a big plant. Cool post :) Does Pixie like to eat breadfruit?
ReplyDeleteThe mural is good fun.
