Exotic Diversity

Günter Dietmair (Hrsg.)

Günter Dietmair is the Editor of Exotic Diversity and the founder of the Orion Tropis initiative, the project that spearheaded the publication of this unique work.

With over 50 years of experience in gardening, landscaping, and sustainable cultivation methods, Dietmair possesses deep practical specialization in working with plants, soils, and ecosystems. His particular passion for tropical and subtropical species motivated him to conceive this publication as a vehicle for sharing high-quality knowledge independently and with a direct focus on practical application.

Throughout his career, he has developed a great sensibility for identifying the challenges and opportunities presented by cultivating exotic fruit trees outside their native regions. Dietmair applies this vast knowledge not only in his own horticultural projects but now also makes it available to a wide audience through his role as Editor.

As the person responsible for the editing, Günter Dietmair has focused on ensuring that the book is both content-sound and visually appealing. Special emphasis has been placed on scientifically reliable information, clear illustrations, and accessible language, bridging the gap between specialist literature and a practical guide for hobby gardeners, self-sufficient cultivators, and professionals.

Exotic Diversity is the centerpiece of Orion Tropis, a knowledge initiative conceived as a platform for knowledge transfer, inspiration, and the promotion of sustainable cultivation methods. Its goal is to provide readers with the highest quality practical knowledge while simultaneously awakening their enthusiasm for the beauty of tropical and subtropical fruit trees in the Mediterranean.
