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.

Factors to consider in choosing fruit trees for your orchard:


A. Location- slope, valley,plain, hillside
B. Climate – elevated(cold), low(warm), dry season, wet season, monsoon season
C. Market Demand- Year-round, Seasonal
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.

Plant propagation is a method or reproducing, increasing, or multiplying plant species. It is being practiced because of
the following reasons:

1. To increase the number of plant species

2. To produce plant varieties that are resistant to some insect pests and diseases

3. To evolve new and better varieties of plants suited to different conditions of soil and climate

4. To accelerate and at the same time lessen the bearing age of plants

5. To avert the extinction of some plant species
