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 ang tipolo by the Filipinos.[3] Paper production and being a shade provider are its primary uses, although its seeds and fruits are edible.[3][4] The City of Antipolo got its name from the said tree.
