isanbirder Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It's a pandanus sp., but it's not breadfruit! Breadfruit has quite different leaves, and the fruit grows from the trunk or big branches. The fruit does look superficially like the picture, though. According to your wiki link, rabid old goat, screwpine is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breadfruit is Artocarpus altilis. Pandanus is used for multiple species in the genus Pandanus. And anyway it wouldn't make any sense to refer to the Pandanus fruit as "breadfruit" since it's not edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have no idea of the name, but it is not breadfruit, for sure.... I have always been told it is not edible by the Thai's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 whatever. you i can call it what you like, i am still calling it breadfruit. In your defence I guess you're an Aussie possibly from Queensland where this is a common sight on beaches. Rightly or wrongly the locals call this fruit breadfruit as you say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
