fruit orchards

Rows of trees

Fruit orchards are cultivated areas where fruit-bearing trees are grown, typically in organized rows for commercial production or personal harvest.

The phrase emphasizes the type of orchard—distinguishing from nut orchards or ornamental tree groves: The valley was covered with fruit orchards—apples, peaches, and cherries as far as you could see.
