fruitwoods
Hardwoods from orchards
Fruitwoods are the wood from fruit-bearing trees—apple, cherry, pear, plum, and similar species.
Prized for woodworking, fruitwoods have fine grain and warm coloring.
They're especially valued for smoking meats, each variety imparting distinct flavor: applewood-smoked bacon, cherry wood for pork.
The singular fruitwood often appears as an adjective: a fruitwood cutting board.
