Customer Tips & Reviews Breadfruit
Breadfruit
The variety in North Queensland has no seeds and is from Samoa, the variety in Fiji is seeded and the seeds are also very edible something like a chestnut to eat. I would say they would grow well in the Brisbane area.

Disagree with the comment 'not suited to temperate climate'. A very old & established one grew in church grounds at Castle Hill, NSW. Withstood frosty winters. I doubt still exists. Great fun smashing the fruit as a kid.

This spectacular tropical tree produces dozens if not hundreds of fruit in a season. The fruit are 1 to 4 kg and can be used any way a potato is used from baked to boiled, steamed, fried or fermented.
