Beschreibung
In Tropical Fruit Glenn Tankard describes a range of new and unusual fruit. There are those that you have already seen on your supermarket shelf or local market stall; and those that are truly weird and wonderful, like some of the species growing wild in the rainforests of Borneo and Malaysia.
With the aid of colour photos and illustrations , Glenn Tankard shows how to identify tropical fruit and explains what tastes to expect once you have peeled away the often uninviting skin. He discusses their culinary uses and includes a number of original recipes. He also gives advice on how to select attractive and exotic plants, how to create the right environment or microclimate to grow them in your own garden, what conditions they require to fruit successfully and the pests and diseases that may attack them. With this book as a guide to the range of new fruit becoming available , many exciting and rewarding days lie ahead for the adventurous gardener.
Glenn Tankard, BSc, has written a number of booklets on exotic fruit growing in Australia for both the commercial orchardist and the home gardener, and is co-author , with Paul Baxter, of Growing Fruit in Australia.
