There is untapped potential for health benefits to humans, economic opportunities, and environmentally friendly growing through agroforestry.</li> <li>A breadfruit tree consumes two tons of carbon in its lifetime and emits a ton of oxygen. St. Croix is a perfect environment.</li> <li>Breadfruit trees and products can be a substantial agriculture export for the USVI, as well as providing the territory with food security.</li> </ul> <p>In Hawaiian culture, breadfruit is called 'ulu. In Hawaiian lore, the god Ku transformed himself into a 'ulu tree to feed his family and spread the fruit trees throughout the Hawaiian Islands.</p> <p class="p1">If you need a smaller or larger than size than listed - please <a href="https://shop-ib-designs.myshopify.com/pages/contact"><span class="s1">contact us</span></a>.
