Following on from Tropical Fruits 2nd Edition Volume 1, Volume 2 examines some of the more-specialist fruits grown in tropical regions. Well-known fruits including breadfruit, durian, guava, passionfruits and coconut are covered, as well as lesser-known fruits native to Africa, Asia and South America such as tamarind, hog plum, langsat, wax apple, jaboticaba and camu camu. Fruits are described in terms of their botany, ecological requirements such as soil and climate, cultivars, field management, pests and diseases, harvesting postharvest management and production methods. This second volume acts as an accompanying text to Volume 1 which covers the major tropical fruits, and is also designed to be a stand alone work for horticulturalists interested in the minor tropical fruits. Volume 2 is a useful botanical resource and practical guide, ideal for students and teachers of horticulture as well as horticultural industry personnel and practitioners. Book jacket.
