Title: Best Tropical Fruit Websites?
Post by: murahilin on February 01, 2012, 01:37:13 PM

What are the best websites for tropical fruit info?

Let me start:
Julia Morton's "Fruits of Warm Climates" - http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/index.html (http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/index.html)

I agree that Purdue has some great resources.  Here's another one from Purdue, slides from a course on tropical horticulture:

Here are another two good online online books for specific tree crops:

One of the largest databases on plants and trees:

http://www.pfaf.org/user/plantsearch.aspx (http://www.pfaf.org/user/plantsearch.aspx)

And

http://www.worldagroforestry.org/resources/databases/agroforestree (http://www.worldagroforestry.org/resources/databases/agroforestree)

you can spend hours if not days going through all the trees and plants at these two sites. they have lots of information on most trees, just take a look at Annona muricata from the worldagroforestry database , a sample:
