Dunno about breadfruit, but I can offer a quote from the International Palm Society's President
"We are at 880 ft, and while there are plenty of Cocos nucifera in this area, it seems to be a hit-and-miss proposition if they're going to flower or not. Without any research, or scientific backing for this, I'll make an educated guess that up to 600 ft or so, they probably all flower, and then between 600 and 1000 ft there's a gradual, and increasing, reduction in the number of individuals that will flower, and above 1,000 ft my guess is that none, or VERY few will produce fruit."
