Apple can be grown effectively. In places like Mambilla plateau in Taraba or better still the Obudu area in Cross river state. |

Apart from apples, there are many other fruits I've seen here and I wonder why we don't have them in Nigeria. 1. Jujube 2. Persimmon 3. Berries 4. Chestnuts 5. Hawthorn popularly called mountain berries 6. Dragon fruit 7. Lychee 8. Pitaya 9. Jack fruit Anyone seriously interested in growing then should contact me lets see if we can get them across. Meanwhile.... Pls agriculturists should see that "Ugili" and "Sour sop" does not go extinct in Nigeria. Respect! 4 Likes 1 Share |

crispgg: Why don't you visit the Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Ibadan? If apples can be grown here I'm sure they will know about it.true talk gembu is colder than jos and its in taraba state, I believe if dey can try it in jos , it ll thrive in gembu cos d weather, the soil, is gud for farming. Dnt knw about some big men apple farm but I knw some of d nigerian top shots ve properties there 1 Like |

himkers:apples are grown in South Africa. C'mon chill it's just the clime. Some of the fruits you grow here are imported in other countries. E.g oranges/lime/lemon,cashew,banana,mangoes mostly grow in hot climate. This can also be said of the palm tree.. |

I want to believe it's a function of weather. Agric Scientists must have been trying to cultivate it here in Nigeria but with little success; so, they wouldn't publicise their work. There could be subsistence cultivation here but commercialization is still a tall hurdle "all" apples on the shelf are imported. If scientists could develop a variant, an hybrid, that would thrive on our soil, better for us. |
