An orchard is a piece of land where fruit trees are grown for commercial or personal use. Common types of fruit trees found in orchards include apple, pear, cherry, and peach trees. Orchards can vary in size, from small family-owned plots to large commercial farms, and they often require careful management to ensure healthy fruit production. In addition to fruit trees, orchards may also include other plants, such as nut trees or berry bushes. The cultivation of orchards involves practices like pruning, pest control, and irrigation to promote growth and maximize yield. Orchards play an important role in agriculture and contribute to local economies.
