wheree bread fruit grows

Breadfruit has a wide range of adaptability to various environmental conditions within the tropics. It grows best in equatorial lowlands below 600-650 meters (1,969-2,133 feet) but is found at elevations up to 1,550 meters (5,085 feet). It flourishes between 21-32° C (70°-90° F) and may not yield well where the temperature exceeds 40° (104° F) for long periods of time or drops below 5° C (41° F). The latitudinal limits are approximately 17° N and S; maritime climates extend that range to the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. Optimum annual rainfall/irrigation is 1,500-3,000 millimeters (59-118 inches), but trees yield regularly on Pacific atolls that receive 1000 millimeters (39 inches) of rainfall. Breadfruit prefers deep, fertile, well-drained soils for a more aggressive growth, but many varieties have adapted to the shallow sandy soils of coral atolls in the Pacific. In Hawaii, breadfruit grows well on rocky, volcanic soils that drain readily.
Areas within the following countries are suitable for the cultivation of breadfruit based exclusively on temperature and rainfall. Many countries not listed are likely to have suitable environs for the cultivation of breadfruit with a reliable source of irrigation. Because of the previous limited access to large numbers of trees, research in every possible climate has yet to be conducted. The potential for cultivation of this useful plant in areas outside the typical range is quite high and more research is underway to test the limits of the plant relative to environmental conditions.

fruit grown in congo

This is a fruit I saw (and tasted) growing wild in the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) in January 2014 growing on trees about 20 foot high and sold in markets. Local people boil it gently and then holding with one hand and placing in lips suck out the flesh which has a strange taste sort of potato-cum pepper. The area I was in was near Kinshasa. What would it be called?
In the local Lingala language I think they said it was 'Fazoo' - but I may be incorrect.

inside south african

The majority of South African apples are grown in the Elgin Valley in the Western Cape. Fruit growers in this area cultivate a wide range of tasty green and red apples.
South African apples are available from March to October in all major UK retailers. Some of the fantastic varieties to look out for during the season are: Granny Smith - Tart yet sweet taste with a firm, white and crisp flesh
Gala - Sweet flavour, yellow skin with red stripes and a firm crisp flesh
Golden Delicious - Golden yellow skin, with a delicate pink blush
Pink Lady (Cripps’ Pink) - Attractive pink colour and exquisite taste, slightly oblong in shape
How to choose: Seek out apples that are firm with smooth and unblemished skin. Also look at the shape of the apple. A more round apple, which is usually younger, typical of the green variety, can be a little more flavourful than the elongated types.
How to eat: Apples can be eaten raw on their own or used in both sweet and savoury recipes from cakes, jams, pies, sauces to meat dishes and stews. Apples go particularly well with pork, chicken, goose and even fish. For some great recipe ideas using South African apples, just visit our recipes section.
Health and nutrition:
One South African apple counts as one of your 5-a-day and they are full of lovely health benefits, such as:

• High in vitamin C (6mg per 100g)
• Low in fat and do not contain any cholesterol
• High in dietary fibre (1.8g per 100g)
• A good source of potassium (120mg per 100g)

Apples are a delicious source of dietary fibre, which helps to aid digestion. A diet rich in apples could also help to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Due to antioxidants and flavonoids present in apples, eating them could improve lung function and reduce the risk of respiratory diseases. Apples have also been found to play a role in inhibiting ageing related problems, helping to prevent wrinkles and promote hair growth. An apple won’t replace your toothbrush, but biting and chewing an apple stimulates the production of saliva in your mouth, reducing tooth decay by lowering the levels of bacteria. Apples are loaded with soluble fibre, the key to reducing sugar swings, which can greatly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Red apples contain an antioxidant called quercetin. Recent studies have found that quercetin can help boost and fortify your immune system, especially when you're stressed out.

where cocoa xan be cultivated

 Cocoa is grown on a wide range of soil types and the standards for soil suitable for cocoa vary considerably. Cocoa trees are more sensitive to moisture stress than other tropical crops. In addition cocoa trees are sensitive to water logging. While they can withstand flooding, they will not tolerate stagnant, water logged conditions. The depth of the soil should be at least 1.5m. The best soil for cocoa is forest soil rich in humus. The soil should be such as allowing easy penetration of roots capable of retaining moisture during summer and allowing circulation of air and moisture. Clay loams and sandy loams are suitable. Shallow soils should be avoided. A minimum requirement of 3.5% organic matter say 2% Carbon in the top 15cm. is ideal for growing cocoa plantation. Cocoa is grown on soils with a wide range of PH from 6-7.5 where major nutrients and trace elements will be available. Cocoa dosnt not come up in coastal sandy soils where coconut flourish.
