Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cultivation of Neglected Tropical Fruits With Promise, Vol. 2: The Mamey Sapote In many countries of South America, the es teem in which the mamey sapote is held is shown by the habit of leaving these trees undisturbed when deforesting a new piece of land. The old trees found in the forest today are often signs of places that were previously inhabited. Now, with impetus from new crops and with new tech niques for planting, this practice of conserving these trees is disappearing, and in some areas the fruit is difficult to obtain. Few countries have had the foresight to pre serve this important resource, but the Cubans feel that no other fruit can be compared With the mamey sapote. There is currently a great demand for this fruit in the continental United States and'in other places where Cubans have settled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the orient, including India and Southeast Asia, citrus fruits have gradually encircled the globe. They have become so commonplace in the tropics and in certain regions of the temperate zone that they seem to be a part of the original landscape. Almost all species have found locales suited to their cultivation and a variety of uses. During their geographical march, the species have benn, hybridized, sometimes spontaneously and somentimes by means of man's guidance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the best fruits of the Western Hemisphere, and yet one that is relatively unknown, is the mamey sapote, Calocarpum sapota (Jacq.) Merr. Widely distributed in Central America before Columbus, the encroachment of civilization has actually reduced the availability of this fruit. Those who know it well believe that there is no better fruit. Its creamy texture and rich flavor are unmatched. The mamey sapote is a large-spreading tree commonly propagated from seeds, but this method leads to trees of variable quality. Selected trees can be propagated by the tedious method of inarching. Other propagation techniques have not given satisfactory results. Trees are grown in a wide variety of soils, chiefly in regions of heavy rainfall (the humid Tropics). Trees canbe established first in containers and then transplanted at the beginning of the rainy season. Regular fertilization, weeding, and supplemental irrigation are desirable. Cover crops are useful, especially during the period of establishment of the orchard. Pruning is done to shape the tree and remove dead wood. A few insect and disease problems occur, but these can be avoided or treated. Fruits are first borne in grafted trees at 3 years of age, and on seedlings at 7 years. When the fruit begins to redden, it is ready for harvest, which should be done carefully to avoid damage and maintain fruit quality. After harvest the fruit ripens in a few days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The canistel, Pouteria campechiana (HBK) Baehni, and its close relatives, the lucmo, P. obovata HBK, and the abiu, P. caimito (Ruiz & Pav.) Radlk., are excellent fruits of the American Tropics which are not well distributed and are little known. All are about the size of an apple or an orange, and they are produced on attractive, chiefly evergreen trees. These species do well in areas with cool nights and have adapted somewhat to dry regions; the canistel seems to be the most adaptable. All can be propagated from seeds, but named varieties of lucmo are propagated by grafting. Cultural requirements are described based on the fragmentary information available. The canistel and the lucmo have a strong aroma and a mealy pulp, yellow or orange. Although the fruits are often eaten by hand, the pulp, either fresh or dry, can be used in the flavoring of drinks and desserts. The fruits are good sources of provitamin A. The fruit of the abiu is gelatinlike in consistency and must be eaten when fully ripe to avoid a sticky pulp. These three fruits merit attention and would probably be readily accepted by most people. Export markets also seem feasible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rambutan, Nephelium lappaceum L., is a popular fruit of Southeast Asia still practically unknown in the Western Hemisphere. A medium-size tree with an open structure, the rambutan produces panicles of small flowers followed by clusters of ellipsoidal fruits up to 10 cm in length. The fruits are covered by a thick skin bearing flexible protuberances. The skin is easily peeled away, revealing a whitish pulp around a central seed. The pulp is sweet to subacid, translucent, attractive, and suitable for processing. The rambutan is strictly tropical in growth requirements and needs high humidity and a long rainy season. Cultural techniques are discussed. A problem of iron deficiency, which causes chlorosis, makes establishment of seedling difficult. Improved varieties propagated by grafting are available. The rambutan would be a suitable and popular fruit for Puerto Rico and other parts of the American Tropics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cultivation of Neglected Tropical Fruits With Promise, Vol. 5: The Canistel and Its Relatives The family Sapotaceae has traditionally been difficult to classify. Recent publications (4, 5, 8) list a variety of botanical binomials for the same members of this family. Vernacular names have acquired considerable importance, because they are the only means by which horticulturists understand which species people are talking about. Classification of the types that bear edible fruit has been at times arbitrary and erroneous because judgments were based on poor herbarium specimens, and occasionally because good bio systematic evidence of speciation was lacking.
