Don't Cut Down a Breadfruit Tree

Tommy Hing of Papa's Fruits talks about how his father always said "Never cut down an 'ulu tree." The interview with Tommy Hing is part of a series of video interviews about the culture and history of 'ulu (breadfruit) in Hawaii. The video interviews are a part of the education and public outreach associated with the Breadfruit Festival-Ho'oulu ka 'Ulu. The Breadfruit Festival is a program of Ho'oulu ka 'Ulu—Revitalizing Breadfruit, a project of the Hawai'i Homegrown Food Network and the Breadfruit Institute of the National Tropical Botanical Garden to revitalize 'ulu as an attractive, delicious, nutritious, abundant, affordable, and culturally appropriate food that addresses Hawai'i's food security issues. The Breadfruit Festival and educational outreach is sponsored in part by the Hawaii Tourism Authority's Kūkulu Ola—Living Hawaiian Culture Program. More at http://www.breadfruit.info
