Geographic Origin of Accession: French Polynesia
Locality: Raiatea
Notes: There are several types of Tuutou. The fruit are the same, differing in the cooking time. Harvesting is difficult because it is hard to get a grip on the stalk with a picker because it it so short and fruit is so large. Leaf size and dissection are main differences between Tuutou taataatoetoe, Tuutou auena, and Tuutou ooa
