Answer 1

An orchard is an area which is dedicated to the growing of fruit or nut trees and sometimes shrubs which produce fruit and nuts. Orchards vary widely in layout, shape, and size, depending on regional preferences and the types of trees involved, and many people have fond associations with orchards, as they produce favored treats like peaches, cherries, apricots, almonds, and many others. Even a small orchard can be amazingly productive, which is why some homes in rural areas have a planting of a few fruit trees to supply household needs.

Humans have been establishing orchards for a very long time, and until the 15th century, the word was also used to refer to vegetable gardens. Pioneers in the world of agriculture undoubtedly learned a great deal through the domestication of fruit trees, finding out how to breed desirable varieties, making grafts and slips, and learning about the best conditions for growing various types of trees. The remains of ancient orchards can be seen in many regions of the world, and some orchards have trees which are hundreds of years old and still producing.
