Yes. I did it two years ago using dwarf jackfruit as rootstock. I made two breadfruit plants which I hope will be dwarf breadruit. There will be advantages to have dwarf breadruit for it can be planted in high density to get more productivity, easier to maintain, easier to harvest its fruits, and therefore lower production cost.
We don't really know. There has not been proper testing of different times. What I would TRY is to graft in the spring. As summer approaches and the days get longer the trees become more active, faster growing, more fruiting. That would be my guess. One cautionary note, not all grafts survive. Some will fail. If the graft dies probably the root stock is still alive and will grow. Then when the tree is mature it may not be breadfruit! So be careful to avoid that problem.
@@TreesThatFeed Yes, I have done it. I already have two young plants (almost 2 years old) in my garden. Now I plan to make another one. The method is just the same as ordinary grafting. I will send you some photos if you want it.
@@geriannroth449 Yes, it work. Actually, wedge graft is the only method I used successfully. I tried some bud grafting but never succeed until now. I learned to graft just 3 years ago.
@@Herusalak thank you for your response & encouragement. I'd love to see some pictures of your grafted breadfruit trees. Plus how long did their grafts to take?
Thank u for sharing God bless u
Agree with you
Thanks good job !!! God Bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏
We don’t really know. Some people say they have tried it but not sure how successfully.
Is it possible to use jackfruit as rootstock?
Yes. I was wondering if jackfruit would work too. It’s hard to find bread but seeds here in Florida.
Same genus, might work. Tell us how it went once you try it.

What variety is dwarf jackfruit ??
can you give me more information on how to graft to jackfruit. what tips might you suggest.@@Herusalak
Thing is A. altilis came from a camansi ancestor, not heterophyllus, I reckon that’s what makes it work.
Instead of using the bud grafting technique would it be successful using a breadfruit scion as the wedge graft in the breadnut root stock?
Hi when is the best time of the year to graft breadfruit?

Instead of using Breadnut as rootstock, use dwarf jackfruit. You'll have shorter plant with better root system.
Have you done this? if so give us advise as we have had our agronomists try and it has not been successful.
