What is Orchard?

 Orchard is a piece of land planted with fruit trees or nut

trees. It is also known as fruit farm. Therefore, an
orchard can have any kind of fruit trees in it, be it
mango, papaya, orange, duhat, banana, etc.

TYPES OF ORCHARD FARMS

TYPES OR ORCHARCD
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.

2. Nuts 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 pine nuts.

3. Seed Orchards
Seed orchards focus primarily on growing trees that 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.

4. Home or Backyard Orchards
Home orchards are small gardens where grafted trees are needed
and small enough to fit in the garden.
