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 are often designed to maximize sunlight and air circulation, which helps the trees produce healthy fruit. Orchards can vary in size, from small family-owned plots to large commercial farms. They require regular maintenance, including pruning, watering, and pest control, to ensure the trees remain healthy and productive. Many orchards also offer activities like fruit picking and tours, allowing visitors to enjoy the experience of harvesting fresh fruit.
