apple orchard

Where ciders begin

An apple orchard is a plot of land where apple trees are cultivated, typically in rows for commercial fruit production.

The term combines the specific fruit with the general word for a tree-growing area: We picked Honeycrisps at the apple orchard.

Apple orchards are common destinations for fall outings in temperate climates.
