Julz_T says... Hi, I have a HUGE breadfruit tree which has many younger ones growing beneath and around it due to fruit falling and growing. Depending where you are it would probably be easier to send you seeds however the season has recently finished so it could be a little while before I can get some to you … I can have a look though and see what is lying around there could still be some seeds lying under the tree. | About the Author Julz_T Finlayvale 24th May 2016 11:17am #UserID: 12051 Posts: 5 View All Julz_T's Edible Fruit Trees |

Manfred says... Where's Ngunnawal? If it's the Canberra area location why bother trying breadfruit? It won't grow, except in a heated greenhouse. Mine loses its leaves if the temperature ever gets below 10 degrees overnight. Like Trikus says, breadfruits don't seed. Perhaps you have a breadnut in Finlayvale. It still won't grow in Canberra. | About the Author Manfred tully 31st May 2016 8:15pm #UserID: 9565 Posts: 243 View All Manfred's Edible Fruit Trees |

Manfred says... So I guess all that effort by the Royal Navy to get breadfruit plants from Tahiti to the West Indies was wasted. The mutiny on the Bounty need never have happened if they had simply had the knowledge of breadfruit which Mrs Quinn of Ngunnawal has. They could simply have sent a few seeds and saved all that effort and acrimony. Mrs Quinn should write a book on the subject, since all the other books are clearly wrong. | About the Author Manfred tully 2nd June 2016 11:57am #UserID: 9565 Posts: 243 View All Manfred's Edible Fruit Trees |
Mrs Quinn says... Thank you for your input Manfred. Mrs Quinn of Ngunnawal has an extensive family tree dating back 350 years of living throughout the islands of the West Indies. So we kinda know a bit about our fruit trees. I'll leave the authoring to you and your 93 posts on this forum, clearly you know it all. | About the Author Mrs Quinn Ngunnawal 6th June 2016 10:19am #UserID: 13919 Posts: 5 View All Mrs Quinn's Edible Fruit Trees |
