Welcome to the Cloudforest Cafe. The purpose of this discussion lounge is to provide a forum for online discussions on highland subtropicals. This includes many rare fruits such as cherimoyas, white sapotes, capulin cherries and many other fruits. And this also includes many Andean vegetable crops such as oca, maca, ulloca, and many others. We also invite palm enthusiasts to discuss highland palms such as Ceroxylons and Parajubaea.
