Horticulture type

One type of horticulture is fruit horticulture. Fruit horticulture is the science or art of cultivating fruits. The art of fruit horticulture can be traced back to Mesopotamia and Egypt and is seen from archeological remains of fruit. So it has been around for a long time. The practical implementation of the practice I chose comes from the fact that I get to work on a fruit farm and see how producing fruit helps people eat and eat healthy.

There are a number of key elements needed for the practice of fruit horticulture. Pollination is a key need to create fruit. You also must start with a seedling or small tree. The tree must be fertilized, irrigated and pruned. The fruits then need picked when ripe or close to it and the stored before they are eaten.
