fruit tree

Orchard's woody plant

A fruit tree is a tree cultivated primarily for its edible fruit rather than timber, shade, or ornament.

Apple, cherry, peach, and citrus trees are common examples.

The orchard has over two hundred fruit trees.

The term typically excludes nut-bearing trees, though botanically nuts are fruits.
