This special edition of 'Manual of Tropical and Sub Tropical Fruits' was written by Wilson Popenoe, and first published in 1920, making it just shy of a century old. The book features sections on tropical fruits we know and love and enjoy frequently, but also fruits that are strange and wonderful and completely unknown to most of us in the West. We've all heard of and probably eaten Mango, Papaya, Avocado, and Cashews, but have you ever tried Mangosteen, or Breadfruit? Ever eaten Green Sapote or Durian? Me either Features chapters on many exotic fruits including Dates, Guava, Litchi, Japanese Persimmon, Loquat, Pomegranate, and many, many more. (The book excludes the most common, well know exotics like Bananas, Coconuts, Pineapple, Figs, and Citrus Fruits.) A wonderful and knowledgeable old book on producing these amazing exotic fruits if you are lucky enough to live in a climate that is conducive to growing them.
