Book Description

Excerpt from Cultivation of Neglected Tropical Fruits With Promise, Vol. 3: The Pummelo On the other side of the world, the pum melo was distributed in pre-columbian times through Southeast Asia and to Fiji and the Friendly Islands. There is no exact record of when it reached the New World, but the literature mentions the introduction of the pummelo into Barbados as occurring before 1696 (probably 1675) by Captain Shaddock, who distributed seeds from Indonesia. His name has come to be a common name for the pummelo. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
