Puou

A tier

Puou is a Samoan breadfruit cultivar often noted for good eating quality and a place in traditional clone portfolios—fruit cook to a moist, mild starch suitable for daily meals. Tree and fruit morphology follow the conserved clone rather than a global brand standard. It sits among the named ulu that keep agroforestry diverse. Peel, core as needed, and roast or boil until fork-tender. Leftover chunks fry well the next day. Cultural recipes outperform generic “substitute potato” framing. Share knowledge of harvest maturity cues—skin colour and segment swelling—with each tree.
