Temperate fruit production in Guatemala

Abstract Advances in the adaptation, culture, and management of temperate fruit trees in the tropics of Guatemala are remarkable in comparison with fruit production developments observed in the tropical highlands of Mexico and other Central American countries. Several cultivars of apple (Malus domestica), pear (Pyrus communis), peach (Prunus persica), and plum (Prunus domestica) have been adapted and form part of home gardens or commercial orchard systems. The cultivation of new fruit crops in Guatemala, such as persimmon (Diospyrus kaki), raspberry (Rubus idaeus), blackberry (Rubus spp.), grape (Vitis vinifera), and loquat (Eriobotrya japónica) has occurred when international prices for coffee bean have been low. The study of advances in temperate fruit growing achieved by Guatemalan producers should be considered for planning horticulture developments in tropical highlands around the word.
