About the Author

Robert E. Paull graduated from the University of Sydney with a BS in Agronomy, was involved in cotton production research before going to the University of California in Berkeley for a PhD in plant physiology. He returned to Australia and carried out research on chilling injury of tropical plants before his appointment to the University of Hawaii to teach and do research on postharvest physiology and handling. He teaches plant physiology and provides guest lectures on postharvest physiology and handling in applied courses. His research focuses on the adaptation and application of technology to the improvement of postharvest handling in a integrated and systematic way. This research has lead to more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and over 80 extension type articles. He is co-author on three books and has co-edited five including The Encyclopedia of Fruits and Nuts, published by CABI with Dr. Jules Janick.

John D. Caldeira

A 'Must Read' for the tropical fruit grower

July 10, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

An exceptionally thorough description of cultivation methods for many tropical fruits. Each chapter on a fruit or fruit family describes the soil and climate requirements, its growth and fruiting habits, and cultural practices. The sections on cultural practices provide detailed information on propagation, planting, irrigation, pruning and post-harvest handling of the fruit. The end uses of the fruits are also described. All this information is presented in an easy-to-read format with sufficient tables, charts, drawings and photos that make it a pleasure to browse.

The chapters are (1) Annonas: Soursop and Rollinia, (2) Breadfruit, Jackfruit, Chempedak and Marang, (3) Carambola and Bilimbi, (4) Durian, (5) Guava, (6) Mangosteen, (7) Rambutan and Pulusan, (8)Passionfruit and Giant Passionfruit, (9) Palms, (10) Other African Fruit: Tamarind, Marula and Ackee, (11) Other Tropical Asian and Pacific Fruit (Langsat, Duku, Santol, Wax Apple, Pummelo, and Ambarella), and (12) American Fruit (Mamey Sapote, Sapodilla, Pitaya, Acerola, and Naranjilla).

This is book, and its companion book, Tropical Fruits, Volume 1 (Crop Production Science in Horticulture), are my primary reference sources for my fruit farming.
