This presentation highlights the critical role of propagation methods — such as air layering, grafting, and stem cuttings — in preserving and perpetuating the genetic and cultural richness of breadfruit (‘ulu) varieties. Rooted in Hana, Maui, this work contributes to both local resilience and Pacific-wide conservation efforts through hands-on stewardship and traditional knowledge. Kahanu Garden and Preserve is the home of the largest and most extensive collection of breadfruit varieties and species in the world.
