himkers: check the cartons/packs of all the apples you buy in stores, and roadsides and you will see they are all imported from abroad. I was told apples cant be grown in Nigeria; reason being that the Oyinbos injected a kind of chemical into the fruit that will make it impossible for it to grow anywhere other than their home countries.

I dont know who else have also be told the same sory. Is the theory true or another false rumour that most Nigerians (like me ) believes??

[size=4pt]**I wish to start growing apples**[/size]

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.

Also, I'm aware that there is an area called Gembu in Taraba or Adamawa state where some Nigerian big men have apple farms. Heard that the place is cooler than Jos and they do experience snowfall some years.

iamord:

Quote the place in the bible apple was mentioned as the origin of sin.

Ill be waiting

dayosaurus: SNOWFALL??

crispgg:


Oga. Before reading it here,did you even know that a place called Gembu ever exist?

I put here what I was told by a friend who did his NYSC in that locality over 10 years ago. If you have facts to the contrary please provide it instead of displaying your ignorance for all to see.

himkers:

That's my point. What made it 'dead on arrival?'
Is it a deliberate attempt by the foreign farmers to keep it away from Nigeria (and probably africa)?

felixzo1: appe is mostly propagated by stem cutting, but seeds can germinate too under right conditions. i know somebody with an apple orchard in plateau state. but on a small scale.

Pancho01: Your question OP is like asking why can't palm trees be cultivated in d north.

mamamama2: Genetically mordified organisms GMOs. This is when crops/ plants' DNA are manipulated and some other organisms DNA (eg bacteria, virus, animal or other plants) are placed in the crops DNA. This engineering of DNA could improve the taste, the apperance, it can make it resistance to pests, that means the crops radiates its own pesicide, it can also be weed resistance.
In USA, percentage of GMO in different crops:
Corn :86%, soyabean93%, cotton seed93%, canola( canola oil) 90%, sugar beets(sugar) 95% hawaian pawpaw 80%
All this engineering as a lot of negative effects, the seeds from the crops is almost certainly sterile, so the farmer that plants it needs to keep buying seeds from the engineering company very planting season.
Some scientist also say they could be cancinogenic(spelling), some say they are causing growth of super weeds etc
A lot of people in the know go for organic produce. I'm not a genetist, so you people can research some more

dayosaurus: Instead of you displaying your ignorance and wallowing in stupidity, why don't you do a little research? . Do you think snow falls for falling sake?. Their is a rationale behind snowfalls, and it's impossible in nigerià.

crispgg:

Wonder why I'm exchanging words with this small boy on a faceless online forum?

Could you explain d rationale please, "Researcher". And brush your teeth before insulting people next time. Maybe better words will slip into your brain.

Onegai:

I think it's bad roads and terrain, not actual distance. Ah ah, there are countries that flying halfway across them is a 5-hr trip (driving will be longer), Naija doesn't have anywhere that far by plane.

Originalsly: This is something people are not aware of and these foods are the causes of several health problems including cancer. They are banned in Europe but of course Africa welcomes them with open arms and mouths. No doubt...the bananas etc are all spotless and pretty...very photogenic.....but don't ever expect to get an overripe banana..it voes from ripe to rotten.....black and watery instead of dark gold and mushy. Go vrab one from Shoprite and test it yourself.
