Key Concepts:
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

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.

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 pine nuts.

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.
Home or Backyard Orchards

• Home orchards are small gardens where grafted trees are needed and small enough to fit in
the garden.

Factors to consider in choosing fruit trees for your orchard:

1. Choose fruit trees which are suited to your location.

2. Choose trees based on your needs or market demands.

3. Consider how much effort you will exert.

4. Plant the right fruits.

5. Choose the best time for planting.

6. Consider the climate in your area.

7. For healthiest and tastiest fruit, choose the sunniest available planting location.
