julie, it is almost impossible to tell them apart until they fruit, since there are so many different leaf patterns on breadfruit. but when they fruit, the breadnut fruit has little spines on it quite apparent. and of course if you open a fruit up, there is no question at all. that whole family of trees are fast growing and lovely. i have a jackfruit that in 3 years was taller than the 2 story house and just beautiful although it took about 5 years to produce. (2200 feet)
