Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis). Early migrations of Polynesians brought the first breadfruit trees from Tahiti. Rather common in Hawaiʻi, the tree ranges from 30 to 60 feet in height. It has many uses: the wood is light and good for canoes; the smooth, gray bark is fibrous and one source of kapa; the milky sap was used for filling seams of canoes, as a lime for catching birds, and as a chewing gum; fruit is baked or boiled to make its sweet, starchy pulp edible; poi is made by pounding up this pulp. (NEAL 302.)
