People keep saying these things are tropical, but they grow wild in Tennessee. I’ve been looking them up to see what they were.

I grew up eating these, and have seen it occasionally at my local hispanic market. However, they have always been rotten. Last week I finally found some that were perfect. I ate them for the first time in 15 years. I am, however, interested in getting a tree to plant here. I live in Houston, and most of the time the weather is very similar to PR, tropical. However I have not been able to find a place where I could buy it online and send it here to Texas. Does anybody have any idea where can I buy it?

RE: Freezing Breadfruit – My husband and I tried freezing breadfruit while living in Central America and the result was very bitter tasting.

This and the fact that fresh breadfruit does not travel explains the difficulties with enjoying this spectacular fruit in northern climes. In the US it can be grown in Key West and Hawaii but no where north of that.

We love breadfruit so much, there was a point in our lives when we promised each other we would not live where breadfruit did not grow. Sorry to say we’ve since moved north – to the South where breadfruit does not grow.

I tasted breadfruit just once, in the late ’60s, while living on Kwajalein. I have kept an eye out for it for many years, but never found it in any of grocery stores in which I’ve been. Hence, I was rather amused by the title of this entry.

(I’d be quite happy just to acquire some seeds or seedlings.)

Hi David, I just spoke to my mother and she indicated that the Breadfruits were destroyed by the storm in Sept. 2010. The tree will start producing sometime in late April or May 2011. I will check on other sources, and send you and update. sorry

When reading your article, I laughed to myself. This is a very hard fruit to come across it grows in the Islands. My mother grows Breadfruit. To cook it you can boil it, or do a mash potato with it. Also you can fry it which is my favorite, put is in a salad. You can find it in St.Thomas V.I and Dominica.
