From the Program Committee
Noted tropical fruit expert Har Mahdeem returns to our club with a presentation on annonas. Bring your questions about this fascinating family of rare fruits-- the one on the MRFC logo!
Har has an entire lifetime of experience with tropical fruit. He grew up in the Amazon region consuming rare jungle fruits and later worked with the famous Zill nursery on their annona breeding program and various germplasm collection trips. Currently he owns a tropical fruit grove and dooryard consulting business specializing in plant nutrition, pruning, grafting/top working and education. Elsewhere in this newsletter is some additional biographical information about Har, gathered by our energetic article writer Claude.
Be sure to check out Har’s many Youtube videos that provide extensive practical advice on tropical fruit horticulture.
