Cultivation Of Neglected Tropical Fruits With Promise Vol 2

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.
