TYPES OF ORCHARD FARMS

TREES APPROPRIATE FOR ORCHARD GARDENING
PROPER WAY OF PLANTING/PROPAGATING TREES AND FRUIT TREES
Introduction
An orchard is a plantation of trees or shrubs that is maintained for food
production. Orchards comprise of fruit-bearing trees which are generally grown for
commercial production. Orchards are also a feature of large gardens, where they serve
as aesthetic as well as a productive purpose. Maintaining an orchard is also fulfilling
for it gives additional income to the family.
Learning Competencies to be Developed
Conduct a survey to identify: types of orchard farms, trees appropriate for orchard
gardening based on location, climate and market demands and proper way of
planting/propagating trees and fruit-bearing trees (budding, marcotting, grafting)

Let’s Understand
Common Types of Orchards
1. Banana Plantation
Native to Southeast Asia, the banana is a large herbaceous plant with a
perennial root. It usually bears fruit within ten months.
The Philippines has consistently been in the list of top five banana-producing
countries in the world. It is the leading fruit grown in the country and the biggest
dollar earner. The Davao region, Northern Mindanao and Socsargen are among
the highest producers.
2. Citrus (calamansi) Plantation
Native to Southeast Asia, calamansi is characterized by wing-like appendages
on the leaf stalks, white or purplish flowers and fruits.
In the Philippines, one of the top calamansi-producing provinces is Mindoro
Oriental.
3. Mango Plantation
Native to India, the mango tree grows up to 15 ft high, with spreading top and
numerous branches. It is widely grown in the tropics for its succulent fruit. The
fruit, which is a fleshy drupe, is somewhat kidney-shaped.
Areas with at least four to five dry months are ideal for growing mangoes. In
the Philippines, among the top mango-producing provinces are
Pangasinan, Zambales, Isabela, Cebu, Davao and Cotabato.
4. Durian Plantation
Native to the hot, humid rainforests of Southeast Asia, the durian fruit is round
and egg shaped and usually weighs 2.8 to 3.5 kg. It requires three months to
develop and ripen.
In the Philippines, the top producers of durian are Davao del Norte,
Compostela Valley and North Cotabato.
5. Palm Trees Plantation
Palm is the common name for a family of woody flowering plants widespread
in the tropics. They are of great economic importance because of the food, fiber
and oil they provide.

6. Coconut Plantation
The tree, called coconuts palm, has cylindrical trunk about 45 cm in
diameter and can grow up 25 m high. The mature coconut is oval-shaped and has
a thick, fibrous outer husk and hard inner shell.
In the Philippines, coconut production plays a significant role in the economy.
About 25 percent of cultivated land in the country are planted in coconut trees.
This is equivalent to about 3.6 hectares.

Ways of Planting/Propagating Trees and Fruit-bearing Trees
There are two ways of propagating/planting trees and fruit-bearing trees.

1. Sexual Propagation – propagation using valuable seeds. Those seeds have the
capacity to germinate and grow.
2. Asexual Propagation – the production of new plants from leaves, stems and
roots. It can be done manually, either naturally or using scientific method.
Examples:
 Budding- a process by which the scion is inserted into the root stock to
unite and grow as one. It is done by choosing and cutting a bud from
one plant and attaching it to another plant. The bud must fit well to the
mother plant. When the bud grows big, it will become part of the plant.
 Marcotting- a process where a ring of bark on a large branch is
removed, the inner surface scraped lightly and the wrapped with moist
soil covered with plastic sheets or coco husk and secured tightly on
both ends with twine. When roots have developed, the marcot is cut
and transplanted in a pot or a plastic bag.
 Grafting- a process which the stem of one plant (mother plant) is
inserted into another plant. The two units are formed into another plant.
Examples are mango, guava and santol.
