Breadfruit Tree for Sale | Air-Layered Breadfruit Trees

Our air-layered breadfruit trees are carefully cultivated for strength, faster fruiting, and exceptional adaptability to home orchards or container growing. Whether you’re in Florida, Hawaii, or any warm coastal region, this tropical icon will bring a touch of the Pacific right to your backyard.

Why Choose Our Air-Layered Breadfruit Trees

Faster fruiting: Air-layered breadfruit trees develop roots before planting, helping them establish quickly and start producing fruit faster than seed-grown trees.

Stronger roots: Because they’re already rooted when shipped, these trees adapt better to new soil and show stronger initial growth.

Nutrient-rich superfood: Breadfruit is packed with potassium, fiber, and vitamins, offering a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to starchy foods like potatoes or bread.

High yield: Once mature, a breadfruit tree can produce dozens, even hundreds, of large, spiky green fruits each season.

Long-lived and sustainable: Breadfruit trees are known for their long lifespan and environmental value. With proper care, they can produce fruit for over 50 years while providing shade and beauty.

Breadfruit Tree, Air Layered
Our Air-Layered Breadfruit Tree is a tropical fruit tree carefully propagated for strong roots and early fruiting potential. Shipped at approximately 2-3 feet tall, this variety thrives in warm, humid conditions and can be grown in the ground or in a large container for easy management.

Our 3-gallon breadfruit tree can begin producing fruit within 2-3 years, as long as it’s properly cared for, fertilized regularly, and transplanted into larger pots every 8-12 months. It can live in a 25-gallon container, making it perfect for growers outside tropical regions.

Each air-layered tree is rooted from a mature, fruiting parent, giving you a faster start and consistent fruit quality.

How to Grow and Care for Breadfruit Trees

• Planting location: Choose a sunny spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. In cooler regions, use a large container and move it indoors during cold snaps.

• Temperature: Breadfruit trees thrive between 70°F and 90°F. Protect from temperatures below 60°F, even brief chills can slow growth.

• Soil: Use rich, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Add compost or organic matter to improve texture.

• Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Breadfruit prefers consistent watering, especially in dry or windy conditions.

• Fertilizing: Feed twice a year with our 8-3-9 Fersol granular fertilizer, the blend we recommend for strong growth and healthy fruiting. Supplement with micronutrients for optimal leaf health.

• Pruning: Trim lightly after harvest to maintain shape and improve air circulation. Remove crossing or damaged branches.

• Container growing: In subtropical areas, the tree can live comfortably in a 25-gallon pot. Large containers (25-30 gallons) help keep it healthy and manageable. Prune annually to maintain an 8-10 ft height.

• Harvesting: Fruits typically mature 2-3 years after planting, especially when the tree is grown in larger containers and fertilized regularly. Harvest when the green skin turns slightly dull and latex begins to ooze, a sign the fruit is ready.

• Longevity: Breadfruit trees can live for decades, continuing to provide fruit, shade, and tropical beauty year after year.
