The Ulu, or Breadfruit Tree, is also known as the Tree of Life to island communities. To say this tree grows quickly is to understate it’s amazing regeneration capabilities. I’ve seen one trimmed down to the trunk at the end of one season, producing fruits by the end of the next. The beauty of the Ulu leaves is legendary. They’re widely depicted on Hawaiian quilts.

The Ulu are prized for both the beauty and shade provided by the leaves, as well as for the starchy breadfruit they produce. The fruits themselves don’t have much flavor, but rely on the seasonings with which they’re cooked.
