Gulielma Utilis (Cultivation)

Mr. P. Smithers
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will investigate the nutritive value of the fruits of Gulielma utilis with a view to introducing this palm as a garden crop for native peoples in territories where it is not at present cultivated.

Mr. J. Griffiths
The possibility of trial propagation of this palm in British Colonial Territories is being examined. At present, so far as I am aware, it is grown only in Trinidad.
