Magnolia fig promise lures growers at Algoa meeting
R H Bushway extols Magnolia fig as a premier South Texas crop at the South Texas Truck and Fruit Growers Association gathering in Algoa. He outlines land prep, pure Magnolia stock, 15 by 15 foot spacing, Bushway pruning, and rapid profits with yields of 141 to 300 per acre in three years. A large Algoa plant and long preserved fig contracts loom.
