Felister Mombo and Philipo Abihudi of Sokoine University of Agriculture in Tanzania visited Growing Connections’ pilot community tree nursery at Ryton Organic Gardens, CAWR, Coventry University, as part of the Undertrees Project exchange. Felister Mombo is a natural resources and environmental economist and Philipo Abihudi is a librarian with a fruit tree nursery enterprise, both working with tree production and agroforestry. Together with Liz Trenchard and Sam Green, we compared similarities and differences in the apple tree production on the tour and discussed community tree nurseries and entrepreneurial nursery enterprises.
