orchardists
Apple grove tenders
Orchardists are people who cultivate orchards—land devoted to growing fruit or nut trees.
The term applies to both commercial growers managing large operations and smaller-scale farmers tending apple, cherry, or almond trees: Local orchardists worried about the late frost.
