Guavas [File, Standard]
Decades ago, guava was a common fruit. Children plucked them from trees growing in thick vegetation, along roadsides and near rivers as they played.
Today, however, indigenous fruits such as guavas are becoming increasingly rare, as they are now found mainly in markets, something unimaginable years ago.
It is this gradual disappearance of indigenous fruit trees that has inspired an environmentalist in Bungoma County to champion efforts aimed at restoring Kenya’s traditional fruits.
