Breadfruit
Artocarpus altilis
Breadfruit is a large tropical tree that requires a warm, humid climate with full sun and rich, well-drained soil. It is a heavy feeder and benefits from regular fertilization with a balanced tropical fertilizer during the growing season. In temperate climates it can only be grown in containers and must be overwintered indoors in a warm, bright location.
