- Title:
- Spanish Arrivals
- Description:
- Antonio Morga’s Chapter 8 reveals that just as tropical Asian botanicals were sent to the New World, Old World plants were brought to Filipinas. Although quince and other European fruits were planted, only pomegranates (rightmost on image) and grapes fruited, usually after 2 years and abundantly thrice a year. Figs also fruited. Vegetables grew well but did not seed. Seeds had to be brought from Spain, China or Japan. Morga gives a lead that some heritage or antique varieties of Philippine vegetables could be identical to some from countries of regular traders. ctto Abraham Brueghel (1631-1690).
