...a South American Fruit.? I am a student working on a paper regarding a fruit called Borojo (full name as Borojoa patinoi, Rubiaceae family), a tropical fruit grown mainly in rainforest of Columbia area in Amazonia (Panama, Ecuador)
I did some google search and have gained some facts on general properties on it, but there are still a few questions that remains unknown to me. (Obviously there are not much literature on it either) So hopefully some nice & informative friends could shed a light on it. Ok, here goes the questions:
0) Is Borojo evergreen?
1) What is growth cycle of Borojo
for example:
When(in which month) buds appear?
When flowers appear?
When it produce fruits and when fruits actually turns ripe(ready to eat).
How many times does Borojo produce fruit in one year?
How long the fruit-producing time last in one year?(from which month to which month)
2) Is it possible to grow Borojo on other area? Are there any specific requirements?
3) What the annual yield for each Borojo tree is like?
4) How many Borojo trees could be planted in say one acre or hectare?
5) How much money does it cost to maintain a Borojo tree(or one acre/hectare etc) in one year?
6) Are there any good reference / website / literature on above aspects of Borojo? It would be greatly appreciated if you could kindly point out for me, ;P
all for now. Looking forward to your feedback, folks.
