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.

It is locally known as tipolo, tipulo, or atipolo in Tagalog and the Visayan languages (Philippine Spanish: antipolo). 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. The City of Antipolo got its name from the said tree.
