`Ulu is a handsome food-bearing tree produces abundantly from late summer into winter. The Hawaiian
Breadfruit tree is distinctive and fast growing. The `Ulu (fruit) grows on an attractive
smooth gray-barked tree that may attain heights of 40 to 60 feet. The `Ulu tree is easily
recognized by its bright dark-green leathery palmate or ruffled leaves, which are deeply
lobed and can be up to three feet long. The branches reach out to a span of 30 to 60 feet.
`Ulu trees are usually found at elevations lower than 1000 feet.

Hawaiian Breadfruit,
the name for which `Ulu is well-known, is a high carbohydrate vegetable, not a fruit as we
generally use the term. It is a good source of calcium, a wholesome food high in vitamins
A and B, with some ascorbic acid and thiamine. In green breadfruit, the carbohydrates are
in the form of starch, turning to sugar as the fruit ripens.
There are many recipes throughout the Hawaiian Islands applying many ways to prepare
breadfruit. It may be steamed, baked, boiled, marinated or stir-fried. It is also mashed
into an `Ulu poi. This food contains no fat.
The `Ulu (fruit) is a
large elongated green globe ball, rough on the surface, becoming about eight inches in
diameter and weighing up to 10 pounds. In the green stage, the fruit is hard and the
interior is white, starchy and somewhat fibrous. When fully ripe, the fruit is somewhat
soft, the interior is cream colored or yellow and pasty, also sweetly fragrant. `Ulu, a
traditional starch crop in Oceania, has enjoyed legendary status ever since its role in the infamous mutiny aboard the H.M.S. Bounty in 1789.
Most Polynesian cultivars appear to have arisen over generations of vegetative propagation and selection
from A. camansi.
Breadfruit leaf designs are
often used in Hawaii's quilt patterns and are printed in various ways on modern-day
fabrics, ceramics and upon other goods.

Here's a competent grower's 'Ulu
in Connecticut 'getting colder, breadfruit tree inside basement for the nite.'
(see the snowblower in the background.)
`Ulu was one of the plants considered important enough to the life of the culture for
earliest Polynesian settlers to have brought it in their canoes, traveling to Hawai`i Nei
from Oceania. Hawaiians believed that it was brought from the Samoan island of Upalu to
Oahu in the 12th Century A.D. It is widespread throughout Asia and the South Pacific.

Payment
We accept online
payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only
acceptable for in-person payments and cash-on-delivery
(COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING
RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are
NOT eligible for any discount.
We will ship once a
week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special
stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This
can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If
payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be
shipped the following week and lose the combined discount
opportunity. Non-paying bidders may receive negative
feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON
LIVE PLANTS on a case by case basis.
We will combine shipping
for auctions won on the same week paid with same PayPal
payment.
This policy is good
for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending
MONDAY.
We ship on Tuesdays.
Payment must be
received within 4 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 4-7 winning
auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
For 7+ winning
auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping
and Handling charges.
As
each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it
does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional items)
My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied
selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for
prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount
much as each different species requires it's own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected
then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on
the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3 days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day
we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes
the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

Before you purchase |
After you Receive
your Items. |
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care
for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help.
Small plants need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They do well just in the garage or living
room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works
well. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating.
Be careful if you decide to re-pot.
Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants).
Proper care is critical upon arrival.
Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED
to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival is guaranteed,
eternal survival is up to you.
IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All
photos must be as arrived in original condition as received (in the box and packed as delivered).
If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant.
NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.
Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind
of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your door.
You are agreeing to these terms when you make this purchase from this listing.

Rare Seeds
Fresh Highest
Quality
When you receive your seeds, you have only 7 days to make any claim. Once planted, seeds can NOT be returned
and no refund is offered. All seed sales are final. There are no germination guarantees.
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be
replaced at seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be
made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper
planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and
reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and
contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially,
the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes..
