Regular price
$50.00
This book, As Frutas Silvestres Brasileras written by Professor Otto Anderson and his daughter Veronica is a piece of fruit collecting history. It will be of special value to jaboticaba collectors who seek to collect the 10 "Otto Anderson" cultivars of jaboticaba which are from his private collection that is reportedly no longer well maintained but the cultivars are traded among collectors. Please note that this book does not have information about his 10 named cultivars but rather focuses on a variety of Brazilian fruits with a nice section on jaboticabas. Professor Anderson is now deceased.
