We are sorry to learn of the passing of Ishreal Thibodeaux who for more than forty years preserved the rare pure-white mirliton that we named in his honor. Mr. Thibodeaux donated many seed to the Mirlitons.Org project to ensure that his variety would survive. He would be pleased to learn that several “Ishreal Thibodeaux” mirliton variety plants are now thriving. Here is his obituary and below are two photographs that I took during my last visit: once includes an enlarged photo of the Thibodeaux fruit which he framed and proudly hung in his house.
