Tropical Fruits (Crop Production Science in Horticulture, 20)

Great coverage of cultivation and propogation methods, climate requirements and post-harvest handling for some major crops. Plenty of graphs, charts and tables suppliment theclearly-written and well-organized text. This book is a great reference resource for backyard growers and small farmers. However, coverage in this book is limited to the the most important fruits that grow in most tropical climates. Volume 2,  Tropical Fruits (Crop Production Science in Horticulture)  provides coverage of more minor fruits. There are even more minor fruits that receive no coverage in either volume. Maybe there'll be a volume 3 some day.This book is a little pricey, but has more depth than the free version of Julia Morton's book  Fruits of Warm Climates  that is available free online.

It came fast and the book was new. It was written very good

This book should be in every library of anyone involved in growing fruits in the tropics, a treasure trove of valuable information
