Discover the Breadfruit Plant
Embark on a tropical journey with our Breadfruit Plant (Artocarpus altilis). This majestic plant, a member of the Moraceae family, originates from the enchanting landscapes of Polynesia.
The Breadfruit plant is a towering beauty, with an average height and width of 60 feet and 50 feet respectively. Its grandeur is a sight to behold, making it a standout addition to your garden or greenhouse.
The star of the show is its fruit, particularly the ‘Ma’afala’ variety. When cooked, the fruit unveils a flavor that is reminiscent of fresh baked bread or a well-cooked potato. It’s no wonder that it’s a staple food throughout the tropics, enjoyed roasted, fried, baked, or broiled.
The Breadfruit plant is more than just a source of delicious fruit. It’s a symbol of sustainability, offering a high-carbohydrate, protein-rich food source for less developed countries and island nations with limited domestic food production.
However, the Breadfruit plant is a true tropical species, thriving in regions that never freeze. It has a damage temperature of 50F, meaning it must be grown in a climate-controlled environment unless you’re in Hawaii or the Florida Keys.

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.

Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
