Fruit trees for the desert

October 2, 2011 by leslieclark 2 Comments

It is not really possible here to go to a nursery and get whatever you want.  I have been trying to get grafted fruit trees for some time and finally realized I had to order in advance.  So last March I went to ICRISAT, an organization working on sustainable ecological farming in Niamey, and ordered 58 fruit trees: mandarin, valencia orange, lime, pomegranate, grapefruit, lemon, and tangelo.  Five did not survive the puppies, and it will be a miracle if the rest actually make it on the long hot drive and get planted–but we a sure going to try for a little bit of paradise in the desert.
