Florida 4-H Horticulture Identification and Judging Study Manual: Fruits and Nuts1

J. G. Williamson2

Florida 4-H Horticulture Identification and Judging Study Manual: Fruits and Nuts (4H PSJ 22) is a plant science judging manual for members of all ages. This is just one part of a five part study guide for the Horticulture and Identification and Judging Contest. The other publications available that work in conjunction with this judging manual are the Rules and Glossary (4H PSJ 20), Flowers and Foliage Plants (4H PSJ 21), Ornamentals (4H PSJ 23), and Vegetables (4H PSJ 24). There is also a 4-H Horticulture Identification Score Sheet (4H PSJ 25) available on EDIS.

There are 45 fruits and nuts in the 4-H Horticulture Contest. Most of them can be grown somewhere in Florida although only a few are commonly grown throughout the state. However, most of the fruits and nuts are well-known to us as a result of their being widely available in supermarkets sometime during the year. To make it easier to study and learn to identify the fruits and nuts, they are divided into several categories: temperate tree fruits, temperate small fruits, tropical and subtropical fruits, and nuts.

In EDIS this publication is DLN 4H 003.
