Overview

Excerpt from The Monthly Bulletin of State Commission of Horticulture, 1917, Vol. 6 Dr. F. Franceschi that I wish to quote the following paragraphs from his pen: Just like the above named Mexican fruit trees, also the Ahua cate was first planted at Santa Barbara, but many years later, that is, in 1871, when three plants were brought from Mexico by the late Judge R. B. Ord, who brought also the first cherimoyas. One of these trees died in infancy; the other two were very large and thrifty when I came to Santa Barbara twenty years ago. Both have unfortunately disappeared, the tallest and finest, bearing fruits of good quality, dying probably on account of the ground being too shallow and dry at the place called Las Palmas, in the upper part of Montecito; the other, which was branched low and much spreading, with very small and poor fruits, located on De La Vina street, in Santa Barbara, was cut down some fourteen years ago to make room for a new building.
