    The name Miyawaki reminds me of another similar sounding name: Miyazaki. It is the name of a Japanese city, now known all over the world for the famous very expensive mango, also known as Tomago (egg of the sun). I wish that they grow at leasr a couple of Miyazaki mango trees in this Miyawaki Urban forest. The plants are available on line.
