Breadnut 'Breadnut'

This tree will sprout more trees from the root.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Breadnut is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Breadnut is a tender plant.

The fruit is ready when the skin turns yellowish, it can be picked young and the “nuts” will be tender where the nut skins can be also eaten. It can be left on the tree until it turns brown and falls to the ground. At this stage the fruits (nuts) will be harder and encased in a hard shell. They are then boiled in salt water and eaten similarly to chestnuts.
