Hi Felipe, i have this book. I think would be disappointing to those thinking it's a description of fruits in Colombia. It's mostly a history of how the fruits were introduced to certain places. The author takes quotes from other antique books to try to piece it together. BTW, the author is a professor in Colombia that popularized and had the borojo frut named after: Patino, so Borojoa patinoi.

Warren brought back some seeds of the borojo from PR but I don't think any of them germinated. Are you growing in HI?

fruitlovers:
There's some at the experimental station here. Will try to get some.

That's right Oscar, it idoes not cataloge fruits, like the wonderful book of brazilian fruit you recently send me, but tells a lot about history and dispersion of fruit in tropial America, as the title sais. But very, very interesting. I like specially the historical quotes. I wish I had a physical example of the book... I envy you  ;)
