ABSTRACT The present study investigated the traditional stone (peach, plum, apricot, sour cherry and sweet cherry) fruit varieties grown in Chile and Cuyo (1700-1850). The documentation of the study was made from notary and judicial archives from Chile, San Juan and Mendoza. Nine varieties of peach, seven varieties of plum, four of apricot and two of sour cherry were identified. Also, important links were found concerning the appreciation of fruit culture between the Muslim traditions of al-Andalus in Spain and Latin-American traditions.
