Product Description

Synopsis
From the plum to the passionfruit and the strawberry to the lime, the history and evolution of fruit is a labyrinth. Cultivated for thousands of years, many species have spread throughout the world as humans migrated and explored far-flung places. Fruit charts the development of a vast range of species, describing their history and cultivation as well as their place in popular culture, from ancient myths to more recent and sometimes bizarre medicinal beliefs. From the wild origins of fruit, we take a fascinating journey through the nurseries of ancient Greece and Rome, the monasteries and great houses of Europe, to the great era of European exploration and expansion into the Americas, finally arriving at the commercial and domestic fruit gardens of today. Whether it be pears or pineapples, Fruit is full of surprises.
