Search The Breadfruit Varieties Database

The database highlights 130 varieties conserved in the breadfruit collection at National Tropical Botanical Garden. Although they represent a significant portion of global breadfruit diversity, the database is not comprehensive. As cultivars face extinction, the traditional knowledge associated with them is also at risk of being lost.

This database supports researchers, farmers, educators, home gardeners, and cultural practitioners working to advance regenerative agriculture, food security, and economic development. It draws on more than 40 years of foundational fieldwork and research led by breadfruit authority Dr. Diane Ragone, with professional photography by Jim Wiseman.
