Their scent, combined with that of the pineapples and passion fruits, filled the air. This was an I indication of great things to come at Fairchild. One of my favorite events at Fairchild is the mango exhibition at the International Mango Festival, which was held July 12 - 13, 2008. Dr. Richard Campbell and Noris Ledesma displayed hundreds of varieties of mango in the Garden House—to open the door into the Garden House after the exhibit has been laid out is one of my great pleasures. You are enveloped by a heady wave of mango aroma, and in front of you the “world” of mangos is on display. Nowhere else on Earth do you see so much diversity in one place. Thousands of years of cultivation, selection and tasting are condensed into one place for one weekend. For a biodiversity aficionado, it does not get better than this. This year we celebrated the Mangos of Africa. My first tree-fresh mango was picked from a huge tree growing on the banks of the River Jubba in southern Somalia. That was over 20 years ago, and I can still remember the event—after weeks in very dry and open bush country, the pleasure of big shade trees and ripe mangos was nothing but profound. I have just returned from a research trip in Kenya with our partners from the Al Ain Wildlife Park, and I wanted them to meet one of Africa’s unsung conservation heroes. As a teenager, I read about the work of Swiss horticulturist, Dr. Rene Haller, in turning scraped out cement quarries into lush, green-forested landscapes. I have visited Rene several times and never fail to be inspired by his vision. Rene arrived in Kenya over 40 years ago and now hundreds of acres of forestland cover what was once an industrial wasteland. He applied the skills of a great horticulturist, namely eternal optimism combined with a love of plants and an ability to find a practical answer to any problem, to regrow a tropical landscape. Now retired, Rene is creating a community nature reserve by restoring a patch of degraded bush land to create an educational and economic resource for the local communities. Inside the reserve, we saw lush vegetation, regenerating stands of doum palm that were covered with flowering Ansellia orchids, herds of Oryx and giraffe, while outside cows and goats were chewing on a bare degraded landscape. This visit reminded me that horticulture is a great tool for good, and that Fairchild has always had a great reputation for high quality tropical horticulture. Sadly, our Director of Horticulture Mike Davenport has left us for new pastures, and we wish Mike and his family all the best for their future. Mike leaves a legacy of dedicated colleagues, both staff and volunteers, and a garden that looks wonderful. We hope he comes back to see his baobabs grow. Ana Estevez, our Grants Coordinator, is also leaving for new opportunities, and, similarly, Ana leaves a great legacy of projects throughout Fairchild. A garden’s growth is based on managing the green stuff—plants and dollars. At this year’s festival, we released the first two new mango varieties from the Fruit Programs breeding and selection program. These two new varieties have been developed to thrive in the South Florida garden. Following an established historic tradition in fruit production, we named these two beautiful mangos after two very special members of the Fairchild family. The varieties are called ‘Angie’ in tribute to Angie and Bill Whitman’s support for the Tropical Fruit Program and ‘Jean Ellen’ in recognition of Jean Ellen Shehan’s leadership and support. Jean Ellen Shehan (above left) and I hope you will explore the garden this summer. Fairchild in summer is a lush, Angie Whitman (below) receive illustrations of their namesake magical garden full of exotic blooms and butterflies.

Philippines Peru Puerto Rico Australia Canarias Island Spain Japan Mango Bonsai Arboles injertados listos plantar 30cm 28 Limitando raices 29 Planting 30 Packaging of the fruit 31 How do I prune? Tools should be sharp clean Formative pruning of young trees The first pruning should be done removing terminal bud. Tipping begin in the first year and continue for the life of the tree… increase the number of lateral branches Heading / Tipping Tipping is critical in the first four years and results in the formation of a mango “bush”. Trees should be tipped every 20 inches. Trees can be trained after planting to increase flower and fruit production Pruning maintains the health, productivity and size of the trees. Open the canopy to light and air movement and spray penetration Branch arching with weights Annually thin major limbs within the canopy will improve fruit color, disease and production. Why Prune: • Control size • Encourage new growth (shaping, thinning) • Give space / light to other plants. • Improve air flow and balance. • Increase vigor • Improve flowering then yield Old Mango tree = unproductive provide the stratification and balance for the rest of its life Pruning should be your main horticultural practice. • Start young with formative pruning • Cut terminal bud • Increase the number of lateral branches (Tipping) • Open the canopy to light and air movement and spray penetration • Remove dead or damaged branches and stems • Make a transversal cut and avoid tearing • Pruning mean balance • Use highly detailed pruning and shaping When to pruned: Timing.

Springtime always conjures up images of budding plants and new growth. It is, therefore, rather timely that this spring I have the privilege of introducing Fairchild’s new Director, Dr. Carl Lewis. Carl is a Cornell-trained botanist. He is a world expert in palm biology and genetics and is a co-author of the recently-published Genera Palmarum, the authoritative reference on palms. Carl also is imbued with the Fairchild ethic having begun his tenure at Fairchild in 2001 as a research scientist. Since that time he has worked to strengthen Fairchild’s scientific programs as well as enhancing the value of its plant collections as a horticulturist. Carl is uniquely qualified to be our new Director as his experience cuts across many areas which are central to our mission including education, plant exploration, molecular biology, conservation and horticultural science.
