fruit trees
Orchard's productive plants
Fruit trees are trees cultivated primarily for their edible fruit rather than timber or ornament—apple, cherry, peach, citrus, and the like.
The term appears in gardening, agriculture, and real estate contexts: The property includes several mature fruit trees.
Fruit trees require specific climates, pruning schedules, and pest management to produce well.
