Breadfruit is a great idea. We are already growing breadfruit and definitely plan on growing more. It grows really well here, and fast, looks nice, and it's a great staple food. I just wished it wasn't a "feast or famine" crop always coming in at the same time.
What kind of eucalyptus is it, and is it good for anything in particular (lumber?).
I've also thought of clumping bamboo. We have a few varieties on the ripped lot and they can probably get a start in lava crevices. There are varieties you can eat, some that are just pretty, and others make good lumber. I'm not interested in labor-intensive uses like weaving.
I would also like an edible nut other than coconuts the parrots and we can eat. Macadamia is an obvious choice but not sure that I want to wait that long (have never seen a grafted tree for sale). We try to feed the parrots edible palm nuts but they have little enthusiasm for them.
