There seems to always be one more relative in this family worth tracking down.
The Basics
Pedalai, Artocarpus sericicarpus, is a tree in the mulberry family, Moraceae.
Origin and Habitat
Native to Borneo and the Malay Peninsula.
What It Looks Like
Similar in general form to its Artocarpus relatives like jackfruit and marang.
Uses and Flavor
Haven’t tried this one ourselves yet, so no firsthand flavor notes.
Growing It Here
Another member of the Artocarpus family we’ve been slowly filling out, alongside breadfruit, jackfruit, and marang.
Pests and Diseases to Watch For
Fruit flies on ripe fruit would be the main concern, consistent with its Artocarpus relatives.
Kenta’s Take
This family just keeps giving me more names to chase down. I don’t think I’m done collecting Artocarpus relatives yet.
