A New Fruit Hunter Blog
May 22, 2008Dr. Richard J. Campbell and Noris Ledesma, the amazing curators of Tropical Fruit at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Florida recently started a blog. Check out their magical moments of mango discovery here
My favorite moment is this exchange with “the mango elders” of the Himalayas:
“When asked to reveal his favorite mango, Mr. Kaleem deftly side-stepped the question, explaining that to name only one would be a betrayal for all the other deserving varieties. So true, Mr. Kaleem, for this is like asking one to choose a favorite among his very own children. Love must be spread equally among all.”
