Artocarpus blancoi |
Artocarpus blancoi is a species of large tree in the family Moraceae endemic to the Philippines. Its habitat (among seasonal forest or thicket growth in low-lying areas) is threatened.[1]
It is locally known as tipolo, tipulo, or atipolo in Tagalog and the Visayan languages (Philippine Spanish: antipolo).[3][4][5] Paper production and being a shade provider are its primary uses, although its seeds and fruits are edible and used in the same way as its close relatives, the breadfruit and the seeded breadfruit.[3][6] The City of Antipolo got its name from the said tree.
