[Sketch of a bread fruit tree]
THE BREAD FRUIT TREE OF THE SOCIETY ISLANDS
The bread fruit tree is one of the most important vegetable productions of the island of Otatheite. It is about the size of a middling oak, its leaves are frequently eighteen inches long, and resemble those of the fig tree. the fruit is about six inches in diameter, of a round or oval form, and when ripe of a rich yellow hue.
It hangs generally in clusters of two or three, is covered with a thin skin, and has a core about as big as the handle of a small knife. The eatable part lies between the skin and the core; it is as white as snow, and resembles new bread, it must be roasted before it is eaten, being first divided into four parts. Its taste is insipid, with a slight sweetness, like that of the crumb of wheaten bread, mixed with the flavour of a Jerusalem artichoke.
Among the most interesting results of Captain Cooks first voyage in 1769 was his account of the Bread Fruit tree. This Singular tree had been noticed and described upwards of eighty years previously by Dampier in 1688 in his voyage round the world, and Cooks notice of it tended to revive curiosity respecting its economy, and every circumstance connected with its cultivation. He, accordingly, did not overlook this desirable object in his second and third Voyages, when he revisited the Society Islands. In his journal in the latter, the great navigator writes
"I have enquired very carefully into the manner of the natives cultivating the bread fruit at Otaheite, but was always answered that they never planted it. This, indeed, must be evident to every one who will examine the places where the young trees come up. It will always be observed that they spring from the roots of the old ones, which run along near the surface of the ground; So that the bread fruit tree may be reckoned those that would naturally cover the plains even supposing that the island was not inhabited, in the same manner that the white barked trees found at Van Diemens Land constitute the forests there, and from this we may observe that the inhabitants of Otahiete instead of being obliged to plant his bread, will rather under the necessity of preventing its progress, which, I suppose, is sometimes
