Our speaker this month will be Ryan Jo. He states, "I am currently a senior in high school with a huge passion for growing rare tropical fruit trees in Tennessee. Because of the climate in TN, I have to move all of my trees into my greenhouse during the winter months. My collection of tropical fruit trees consists of many different species from all over the world. It’s really hard to describe my collection with a few sentences, but I grow many different mangos, annonas, eugenias, garcinias, pouterias, yangmei, lychees and more. In addition to this, I have chosen to specialize in the plinia genus (jaboticabas). In my talk, I will cover all about jaboticabas. I will go over the Plinia genus as a whole, then break it down into different sections while covering the different varieties. I will also discuss tree care and different resources. If you need to reach out to me, I am available through the tropical fruit forum messaging system (Jaboticaba45),  messenger (Ryan Jo), and through my website graftatree.com"
