How many trees are needed to make an orchard

Any number - MPF 00:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on the size of the tree. Old fashioned apple trees grown on seedling could be as few as 40 trees per acre for varieties like Greenings that had a tendency to spread wide. Modern, trellised or post-supported full-dwarf apples can have 600 to 800 trees per acre. There are experimental plantings that go to even higher density. The trend is to smaller trees at higher density. They are more efficient for pollination and spraying, and they are safer to pick - without picking crews on high ladders.

Merge Fruit garden into Orchard[edit]

Support. There is no justification for keeping the one-line text of Fruit garden as a stand-along article/page. By all means, merge it into Orchard. It can always be split out in the future if more text is written independently of Orchard and proper references are collected. --Zlerman (talk) 10:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I think Zlerman said it all. Yueri (talk) 11:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lemon Orchard??[edit]

Shouldn't it be lemon grove? 72.201.237.39 (talk) 00:57, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Layout of an orchard into this article[edit]

A new article called Layout of an orchard so far only consists of a few sentences. Seems like the info would fit better in this article rather than a standalone article about the different layout patterns. Does anyone oppose a merge? SnottyWong talk 23:29, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and performed the merge. --Aka042 (talk) 00:15, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Upper Gallilee lemons[edit]

Any chance of anyone finding a pic to replace that **** orchard and thus putting a stop to these people that keep changing Israel to Palestine? Almost any orchard would do - so long as it's somewhere uncontroversial (thus ruling out Kashmir and anywhere with border disputes...). Peridon (talk) 14:50, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vegetable?[edit]

Intro. refers to ....vegetable...producing trees. I can't think of any examples. Can anyone else? Gravuritas (talk) 02:07, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on whether you are talking scientific or culinary. Breadfruit and jackfruit are botanically fruits, but in cooking are used as vegetables. Then there is the olive, of course, another fruit used as a vegetable in savoury cooking. No trees that I can think of produce vegetables like cabbage or potato (edible leaves or roots) for human consumption, although many do have leaves eaten by other animals.
