Description

A botanical book made to outlive the changing internet.

The July Collection 2026 preserves the photographs, working names, accepted botanical identities, origins, field observations and stories associated with 52 rare-fruit accessions gathered through the Huertas Urbanas network.

The volume is arranged primarily by botanical family and gives out-of-stock accessions the same archival dignity as currently available material. Fruit and whole-plant photographs take visual precedence, while flowers, leaves, bark, seedlings and seeds complete the record when available.
