Collection of edible wild fruits in Eastern Region of Ghana

English

Edible wild fruits were collected in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Interviews and group discussions were the methods used to know the locations and subsequent collecting of the fruits. Twelve accessions of fruits were collected of which most were from trees. Cash crop (cocoa) farms were the habitats for most fruit trees in the region. Chrysophyllum albidum and some trees were deliberately planted in farms for income and sale. Some fruit trees were being domesticated.
