Abstract
A survey has been conducted to evaluate kinds of horticultural crops grown at home gardens at 40 villages in South Sumatra Province. The villages were purposely selected to represent all geomorphological regions of the province, from highland (>1400 m above sea level) to tidal swamp along the coastal. Ten home gardens were randomly selected at each village. Most common horticultural crops found at home gardens were fruits crops such as banana, pineapple, and soursop. Surprisingly, vegetable crops were rarely (<22.0%) found at home gardens. Based on Sorenson's similarity index, it can be concluded that kinds of fruit crops grown were similar at most villages surveys, except for those at altitudes higher than 1000 m above sea level. Average density of perennial fruit tress was 4.6 trees/100 m2, with a range from 1.7 to 10.9 trees/100 m2.
