History
Established in the early 20th century, the Pomological Station in Coonoor was initially set up to research and develop suitable fruit varieties for the Nilgiri hills. The region's unique climate presented both challenges and opportunities for fruit cultivation. The station played a crucial role in identifying and propagating fruits that could thrive in the local conditions. Over the years, it has contributed significantly to the horticultural practices of the area, introducing new varieties and improving existing ones. While the station's primary focus remains research and development, it has also opened its doors to visitors, offering a glimpse into the world of fruit cultivation and its scientific underpinnings. Today, it continues to be a valuable resource for farmers and a point of interest for those curious about the region's agricultural heritage.
