| Description |
Morula, African chewing gum and Mmilo might not be such world famous fruits as oranges, pineapples and mangoes, but they are as tasty, healthy and valuable. Besides, these indigenous fruits of southern Africa are fully adapted to local and sometimes harsh, and dry conditions. Stanley Mateke of Veld Products Research and Development has compiled a series of five manuals on growing such fruits; getting started; propagation, care and harvest; pruning and thinning and post-harvest measures. One manual deals with growing both indigenous and exotic fruits in general. Specific titles cover Mmilo (wild medlar or Vangueria infausta), Morula (Schlerocarya birrea), Mogorogorwane (wild orange or Strychnos cocculoides) and Morojwa (African chewing gum or Azanza garckeana). Each booklet is around 18 pages and costs 5 Botswana Pula 1(excluding packaging and postage).
