A. Introduction Day 1 Have you been to a market/ supermarket recently? Were you amazed
Panimula of the different fruits found in the fruit and vegetables section? Have you
ever wondered where are all those fruits coming from?
Most probably those fruits come from a local orchard in your
community. Orchards abound in the countryside where mangoes, bananas,
jackfruit, guava, santol, and many other tropical fruits grow.
In this lesson, you will know the types of orchard farms, trees appropriate
for orchard gardening based on location, climate and market demands,
proper way of planting/ propagating trees and fruit-bearing trees (budding,
marcotting, grafting), sources of fruit-bearing trees, how to care for seedlings
and prepares layout design of an orchard garden using the information
gathered.
An orchard is a piece of land where trees or shrubs are maintained
for food or commercial production. Likewise, an orchard features big
gardens for aesthetic and productive purposes. Orchards are often
concentrated near a water source. Orchard owners mostly concentrate on

Types of Orchards
1. Fruit Orchards- Fruit orchards include any facility focused on growing
tree-bearing fruits. Citrus trees, such as those bearing lemons, limes or
oranges, may be grown all together in large citrus orchards, or
individually in smaller facilities. Plantations that grow fruit-bearing bushes
generally don't fall under this category. These include fruits not grown
on trees.
Example of Fruit Orchards- Banana Plantation, Mango Plantation, Citrus
(Calamansi) Plantation, Durian Plantation,
2. Nut Orchards- Nut orchards include a large variety of facilities that
produce nut bearing trees. These include orchards that grow popular
nuts like cashews, walnuts and almonds. This category also includes
cocoa and chocolate-producing nuts, as well as coconuts. Some
orchard owners produce pine trees for their edible cashew nuts.

produce seeds rather than nuts or fruit. These seeds are then sold to
commercial distributors for resale to the public in small seed packets.
They may also be sold to large agricultural facilities or used for food
production. Seed orchards can further be divided into two categories
based on how they are established. In a seedling orchard, trees are
selected through controlled pollination. In a clonal seed orchard, seeds
are distributed through methods such as cutting and tissue culture,
resulting in an easier harvest overall.
