Growing Fruit Trees
Fruit trees grow in the wild and are also grown by farmers in allocated areas known as orchards http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchard . Orchards are also grown not just for their fruit but for their aesthetic value in large gardens. Fruit trees often have very beautiful blooms and so are nice to have in a garden.
Fruit trees can grow in a variety of climates and certain fruits are better suited to different environmental climates. Tropical areas will grow fruits such as banana, durian, guava, mango and papaya. Sub tropical zones have more success with fruits such as the citrus, the date palm and lychee. Temperate climates will grow apple, apricot, cherry, peach and many more very successfully.
There are many countries that have large regions dedicated to fruit tree growing.
