FRUIT TREES

From ancient times to the present, fruit trees have been cultivated for their delicious fruits, as well as for their beautiful flowers and leaves.

Fruit trees have been around for centuries, and their history is as rich and varied as the fruit they bear.

HISTORY OF FRUIT TREES

Fruit trees eventually made their way to the New World with European settlers. Apple trees were among the first fruit trees to be planted in North America, and they quickly became a staple of the American landscape.

The first recorded instance of fruit tree cultivation was in China, over 4000 years ago. Fruit trees were also grown in ancient Egypt and Greece. In Rome, fruit trees were so popular that they were often planted in the courtyards of homes and public.

POME TREES

Pome fruits are a type of fruit that contains seeds in a core surrounded by flesh. It consists of a central “core” containing multiple small seedsAre a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are also low in calories and fat. Pome fruits can be eaten fresh, canned, or dried.

A pome fruit grows in such a way where many carpel (aka ovaries) and parts of the flower fuse together to form frIf you slice a pome fruit in half, you’ll see the familiar core, flesh, skin and calyx formation that pomes share. The fruit’s core forms as carpel's grow and fuse together. This is called the endocarp, and includes the seeds and hard, translucent casing around them.

STONE FRUIT TREES

Surprise your audience ...

Stone fruits are a classification of fruits also know as drupes: They have a thin skin and a "stone" in the center, which contains the seed

tend to have thin skins that may be fuzzy or smooth. The pit is actually a large seed, and stone fruits can be either clingstone or freestone depending on how easily the flesh pulls away from the seed.

CITRUS FRUIT TREES Fruits in the citrus family grow on evergreen trees or shrubs. They have fairly thick skins and pulpy flesh that's divided into segments. When most people think of citrus, the usual varieties first come to mind: lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. However, there are many different kinds of citrus fruits in the Citrus genus.

BERRYY FRUIT TRESS A berry is a fleshy fruit with many seeds inside such as, kiwi, papaya, grapes, avocado etc). Berries have a endocarp (inner layer) and mesocarp (middle layer). The berry is the most common type of fleshy fruit in which the entire outer layer of the ovary wall ripens into a potentially edible "pericarp". Berries may be formed from one or more carpels from the same flower (i.e. from a simple or a compound ovary).

IMPORTANT OF FRUIT TREES

Fruit trees provide us with healthy food to eat, while creating beauty in our yards. Adding fruit trees to our landscape improves the values of our properties, while helping to support an eco-friendly environment.

Trees give off oxygen that we need to breathe. Trees reduce the amount of storm water runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding. Many species of wildlife depend on trees for habitat. Trees provide food, protection, and homes for many birds and mammals.
