As part of Maui Nui Botanical Gardens’ Lā ʻUlu 2025, this virtual presentation explores the vital 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 Hāna, Maui, this work supports both local resilience and Pacific-wide conservation through hands-on stewardship and traditional knowledge. Kahanu Garden and Preserve is home to the largest and most extensive collection of breadfruit varieties and species in the world.
