Australian New Crops Newsletter

Just came across a collection of on-line issues of the Australian New Crops Newsletter, from 1994-2002. Lots of different crops are discussed as well as the practicalities of developing new crops, both as industries and as species.

Here are a few selected articles...I just glanced through and picked out a handful I thought might be relevant to my readers (most are quite brief):

Nashi Fruit (Pyrus pyrifolia)
The Trials of New Crop R&D: Getting the Germplasm
Longan (Euphoria longan)
Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdinandiaana)
Edible Indigenous Nuts of Papua New Guinea
Beach Plum (Prunus maritima)
Australian Native Citrus

Fruit-for-Arms

This amused me:

Thailand trades longan fruit for Chinese armored vehicles

And, of course, the obligatory longan page, from Morton's Fruits of Warm Climates.
