Growing Breadfruit Trees

The breadfruit tree can be grown by sticking a piece of living root in the ground horizontally and watering it. After several weeks, new trees sprout from the root. Our team will separate the new sprouts and put them in recycled cement bags leftover from earthquake reconstruction.

In December there will be a large harvest of breadfruit and people will have more than they can eat. This year, we plan to educate the communities on how to dry the surplus breadfruit to preserve it. Once dried there are many highly nutritious products that can be made. We look forward to updating you in the weeks to come!
