Good keledang and safu

A friend has some great tasting keledang and they must be one of the most desirable Artocarpus.This one has very bright coloured flesh and a very rich flavour.The fruit in the picture in the handsome paw is just a small one.
I have never tried safu and I am told to pour hot water over them and then eat.The colour sure ius an attention grabber,

Very beautiful Mike. Pictures like this keep my focus on getting a nice piece of land in a slightly warmer area.

Note, never bareroot Keledang (artocarpus Lanceifolius). They don't like it.
Lost a lot of good starters, even after nursing.

Hey Mike, give us a taste review after you try that safou. I'd be interested in your thoughts on it. Info seems to be sketchy on a lot of those African fruits.

It seems keledangs are like many Artocarpus in that there is a fair bit of variation in fruit characteristics between trees.This particular fruit was picked a bit early and is smaller than usual for that tree.
I will try the safu and give an account of the taste.

I am growing safou but it hasn’t produced yet. Do you have any photos of the trees in production?
Thanks, Peter

Keledang looks great Mike! Do you know how large the keledang tree is?
