Berto was raised in northeast Brazil where he learned to enjoy several different types of fruits. In the last twenty years, he has experimented growing rare and unusual fruits from all over the world including some varieties native to the Amazon region. He has a spectacular jaboticaba arbor at his home in South Ft. Myers. He is an active member with the Bonita Springs Tropical Fruit Club and with the Caloosa Rare Fruit Exchange. Berto’s collection includes myrciarias, eugenias, pouterias, annonas, mangiferas, and campomanesias. The meeting starts at 7:30 pm at the Community Center, 4701 Golden Gate Parkway in Golden Gate City. The tasting table opens at 7:00 pm.

  • Dumbarton House Annual Report
    Dumbarton House Annual Report Fiscal Year 2013 September 2012 – August 2013 Headquarters & Museum ~ The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America Letter from the Executive Director and chairman Dear Friends, Our temporary exhibition this past year—Metamo’rphosis I—provides a fitting theme for our 2013 fiscal year activities here at Dumbarton House, with exciting transformations afoot at your NSCDA national headquarters and museum. In the museum, new collections acquisitions have allowed us to enrich our interpretation of life in our national capital’s earliest days, while the Metamo’rphosis I exhibition encouraged contemporary artists to find inspiration for their modern creations in our historic collection. In the museum interiors, the Dining Room received a stunning facelift, returning it to its authentic Federal period aesthetic. Outside, a transformation of another sort commenced with extensive upgrades to irrigation and garden lighting systems performed alongside emergency repairs of the air conditioning compressor and multiple sink holes. Inside, summer renovations carved out dedicated collections storage space from a former custodial supply closet and office space, and created a headquarters entrance, reception, meeting, and office space in the building’s west wing. Meanwhile, a team of skilled engineers, conservators, preservation architects, and sustainability consultants conducted a year-long study of the site’s HVAC system, funded through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The NSCDA 2012 Biennial kick-started this year of metamorphoses as members elected new national leadership (including Anna Duff as new NSCDA Vice President-Headquarters, Dumbarton House) and unveiled an engaging new brand for the Society. Our numerous museum programs, serving just under 20,000 this past year, and these numerous preservation efforts would not be possible without the generous support of friends like you from across the country.

  • Tropical & Sub-Tropical Fruit Trees for Miami-Dade
    A SELECTION OF SOME TROPICAL AND SUB TROPICAL FRUIT TREES FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY We are fortunate that living in Miami-Dade enables us to grow so many interesting and delicious tropical and sub-tropical fruit trees. Many of these offer not only excellent fruit, but also provide shade and enhance the ornamental appeal of the landscape. The Miami-Dade Extension Office can provide assistance in choosing trees, and has available for distribution publications written by University of Florida Extension Service fruit tree specialists. The plants listed below are all more or less Apermanent@ landscape items, and are only some of those that can be successfully grown. All of the plants are well adapted to this area, except where noted, and should be available from fruit tree nurseries in South Florida. For those who may want something more temporary, consider papayas, pineapples, passion fruit or strawberries.

  • Mango Genetic Diversity Analysis and Pedigree Inferences for Florida Cultivars Using Microsatellite Markers
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 131(2):214–224. 2006. Mango Genetic Diversity Analysis and Pedigree Inferences for Florida Cultivars Using Microsatellite Markers R.J. Schnell1, J.S. Brown, C.T.

Campbell Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables, FL 33156 D.N. Kuhn Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Mangifera indica, cultivar identifi cation, SSR markers, mango breeding, parentage analysis ABSTRACT. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) germplasm can be classifi ed by origin with the primary groups being cultivars selected from the centers of diversity for the species, India and Southeast Asia, and those selected in Florida and other tropical and subtropical locations. Accessions have also been classifi ed by horticultural type: cultivars that produce monoembryonic seed vs. cultivars that produce polyembryonic seed. In this study we used 25 microsatellite loci to estimate genetic diversity among 203 unique mangos (M. indica), two M. griffi thii Hook. f., and three M. odorata Griff. accessions maintained at the National Germplasm Repository and by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami, Fla. The 25 microsatellite loci had an average of 6.96 alleles per locus and an average polymorphism information content (PIC) value of 0.552 for the M. indica population. The total propagation error in the collection (i.e., plants that had been incorrectly labeled or grafted) was estimated to be 6.13%. When compared by origin, the Florida cultivars were more closely related to Indian than to Southeast Asian cultivars.

Florida in the eighties was rediscovered. While many "unreconstructed" Floridians of the decade referred to this influx of northerners as "the second Yankee invasion", (the Union Army invasion of the sixties having been the first), they nevertheless rejoiced in the recognition which the state's warm winter climate was receiving. Not only invalids, but vacationists and wealthy pleasure-seekers were coming in increas- ing numbers.
