From Seed To Supper Jackfruit
In the lush landscapes where tropical climates thrive, the jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus) stands tall, its branches laden with the world's largest fruit. "From Seed to Supper: Jackfruit" captures the fascinating journey of this versatile and nutritious marvel, from its humble beginnings as a seed to gracing tables around the globe. The story begins with the seed-a small, unassuming package harboring the potential for an arboreal giant. Nestled in fertile soil, the jackfruit seed germinates, sending forth a shoot that gradually transforms into a robust sapling. The young tree, under the embrace of sunlight and nourishing rains, embarks on a journey of growth, reaching heights of up to 80 feet. Its expansive canopy provides shelter to an array of creatures while signaling the promise of a bountiful harvest. As the jackfruit tree matures, it sets the stage for the emergence of flowers-tiny, inconspicuous blossoms that hold the secret to the tree's fecundity. In nature's dance, these flowers release pollen, inviting the intervention of wind or pollinators. The successful fertilization of these flowers marks the beginning of the jackfruit's transformation from mere potential to tangible fruition. With the promise of fruit, the tree dedicates its resources to nurturing the young jackfruits. Initially, these small, green orbs are inconspicuous, almost camouflaged among the leaves. As they grow, their spiky exteriors shield the sweet, fibrous flesh within. Patiently, the jackfruit swells, drawing sustenance from the soil and the sun, until it reaches a formidable size-sometimes weighing up to 80 pounds. The ripening process is a spectacle in itself. The once green and knobbly exterior metamorphoses into a vibrant, yellow hue, signaling the jackfruit's readiness for harvest. The air becomes infused with a sweet aroma, beckoning farmers and enthusiasts alike to partake in the harvest. Harvesting the jackfruit is an art, requiring skill to navigate the tree's towering height and dexterity to cut through its resilient stem. Once harvested, the jackfruit unveils its treasure trove of golden bulbs, each encapsulating a unique blend of sweetness and mildness. From the seeds to the fleshy pods, every part of the jackfruit carries the potential to be transformed into delectable dishes. "From Seed to Supper: Jackfruit" encapsulates not just the botanical journey of this remarkable fruit but also its culinary significance. A culinary chameleon, the jackfruit adapts to myriad recipes, taking on savory or sweet notes with equal finesse. From curries to sandwiches, tacos to desserts, the jackfruit's versatility knows no bounds, offering a delectable experience for those willing to explore its culinary landscape. In the hands of skilled chefs and home cooks alike, the journey of the jackfruit-from seed to supper-culminates in a delightful feast. Each mouthful is a testament to the intricate dance of nature, the perseverance of the jackfruit tree, and the culinary creativity inspired by this tropical giant. "From Seed to Supper: Jackfruit" invites us to savor not just the fruit's succulence but the rich tapestry of stories woven into every bite.

Hamilton's Commercial Indoor Plants
Five stars ... Updated classic, the Bible of interior plant care! Early in my 45-year career in the interiorscape industry, I came across a copy of this book and absorbed its wisdom. At the time, there weren't very many sources available for the type and quality of information contained in this volume, other than one's own personal experiences in the industry. And that's the beauty of the book: it is a compilation of many years of real-world experience in choosing, installing, maintaining, and, yes, replacing plants in commercial situations. Practical lessons were learned, analyzed, and cataloged by actual interiorscaping technicians and comprise the wealth of knowledge and guidance offered to yet another generation of plant care professionals. With the stated goal of reducing plant replacements to near zero and preserving and enhancing the beauty of the plantings with proper watering techniques, this volume is a veritable field guide to the successful maintenance of decorative live plants in commercial settings. The book covers a lot of territory, from the history of the interior plant industry to the peculiar characteristics and behaviors of the major families of indoor plants (trees, palms, canes, vines, ferns, lilies, succulents, and cacti) and the many specialized niche uses for each. Lighting, fertilization, grooming, root-to-soil ratios, and most importantly when and how to water plants in specific conditions are given an in-depth treatment that is thorough and intensive, yet relieves the stress of managing each plant type and situation by giving pragmatic tips and practices that ensure longevity and attractiveness of the plants, whether they be simple individual plants in containers or elaborate atrium plantings. By the final chapters, the reader has acquired a solid grounding in the necessary concepts for success with interior plantscapes and an understanding of how to best use each type of plant to make a decorative statement in the indoor environment. As someone who has been a technician myself, as well as a manager and trainer of novice plant technicians, I can personally vouch for the validity of the concepts and techniques taught in the book. If you are an interiorscape business owner, manager, supervisor, trainer, or technician, you should own a copy of this wonderful book. It will continue to be an invaluable reference throughout your career as you build upon its concepts and practices. "Hamilton's Commercial Indoor Plants" is a classic in the genre of interior plant care. - Clem Cirelli, Industry Pioneer, B.A. Biology, Rutgers University, New Jersey,1979. FOREWORD by Joseph Cialone, PHD. Interiorscape Industry PioneerI've long valued Hamilton's plant care series. I'm thrilled these books-emphasizing precise watering-are being reissued and now benefit a new generation, extending plant life and minimizing replacements.My passion for plants traces its roots to my formative years on a vegetable farm in 1950s New Jersey. This upbringing propelled me into the realm of horticulture, where I pursued studies at both Rutgers and Cornell University.While familiar with the Hamilton series on indoor plants, it wasn't until recently that I had the pleasure of meeting Patricia Hamilton, the driving force behind these invaluable books.David Hamilton's comprehensive guide leaves no stone unturned when it comes to caring for interior plants. Rooted in the objective of maximizing a plant's lifespan in an indoor setting, the book covers plant families, root system types, light and water requirements, design considerations, and more.The fundamentals of good plant care, eloquently presented in straightforward language, remain timeless. In an age dominated by the internet, this book stands tall as a timeless wellspring of knowledge on interior plant care.- Joseph Cialone, Boynton Beach, Florida,
