A Great Resource for the Serious Fruit Grower

August 10, 2013

Format: Paperback

The Propagation of Tropical Fruit Trees by Garner, Chaudhri, et.al, is an excellent book on propagation techniques for most popular tropical fruits. Each chapter consists of a thorough and well-organized compilation of related scientific literature up to 1976. This 566 page book tends towards the scientific and is not for the casual gardener, but is surprising easy to read.

The first section is titled 'Materials and Methods' and covers general nursery techniques, and then devotes approximately 150 pages on various methods of seed and vegetative propagation, including 50 or so well-illustrated pages on grafting.

The remaining 380 pages are devoted to the propagation of specific tree fruit. Chapter titles cover Cashew, Anonna, Breadfruit, Jackfruit, Carambola, Papaya, Star Apple, Durian, Rose Apple & relatives, Mangosteen, Langsat, Barbados Cherry, Mango, Sapodilla, Jaboticaba, Rambutan, Guava, and Indian Jujube. Of the popular fruits, only Banana and Coconut seem to be missing.

Though a little dated, this is one of my favorite books because it focuses on propagation. For more recent and general coverage of many of the same tree fruits, consider Tropical Fruits, Volume 1 (Crop Production Science in Horticulture) and Tropical Fruits, Volume II (Crop Production Science in Horticulture)
