those sichuan pepper types sound really interesting. Iʻll have to look into that.  I got a black pepper vine from frankies that id imagine they brought back from SE Asia. They usually dont import any run of the mill stuff.  thanks for all the good advice yʻall keep it comin!.

greetings,  I am working on a spice collection on the Big Island of Hawaii and am interested your guys feedback on spices that grow well in the tropics.  Especially of interest would be rarer spices and good sources of seed and plants for these. Im definately not limited too trees, any and all spices. Aloha, Adam

Thanks you guys all good tips! What peter said is what i will try for sure.  Makes perfect sense to cause some new growth flushes that are thinner. Iʻm definately gonna try cuttings and airlayers as well but I got a lot of breadnut. Have any of you had success grafting anything else onto breadnut?

i was talking to lynn at frankies nursery and she said they do their chico by airlayers starting in spring thru summer. If they do air layers there then id imagine it can be as successful as grafting or atleast quicker. protect em from the sun with foil for sure. Seedlings do grow quite slow so id imagine it would be worth it to find a airlayer process that works.  good luck

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Grafting Breadfruit

Hi I am curious about grafting breadfruit. I have a bunch of breadnut rootstock and cant find much info online about methods for graftin breadfruit onto breadnut or anything else for that matter. One abstract speaks of grafting at 45 days from seedling but the scionwood is much larger than the roostock at this stage.  I am wondering if anyone has success in grafting breadfruit and what methods you used (age of rootstock, diameter of scion, poly bag tent, time of year etc). Is it possible to graft these larger scions onto smaller rootstock and just match up one side? Any tips or leads would be most appreciated.

Greetings,  we (adam & katie) are a growng exotic fruit farm and nursery on the hamakua coast of the Big Island.
