Alpo Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 In an online story someone refers to an "orange orchard". The girl corrects him. "Oranges don't grow in orchards, they grow in groves." And that just got me thinking about it. Citrus fruit grows in groves. Apples and pears grow in orchards. Pineapples grow on plantations. But where do nuts grow? If you've got 500 walnut trees, is that a walnut orchard or a walnut grove or a walnut -- what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 The town in Little House on the Prairie was called "Walnut Grove." I assume they named the town after a walnut grove, so that would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 What Is the Difference Between a Grove and an Orchard? Quote An orchard is a grove, but a grove is not necessarily an orchard. Grove is more inclusive than orchard, referring not only to the fruit and nut trees of an orchard, but also to any type of trees growing in groups without underbrush, according to the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Although "grove" and "orchard" are almost interchangeable, custom, more than strict meaning, determines which word to use in a particular context. Quote Orchard An orchard is a planting of fruit, nut or maple trees, according to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary. The word "orchard" has Old English and Latin roots, meaning "yard garden." Considering the literal meaning of these words, it follows that a yard garden is a place to grow food. In common usage, an orchard can consist of one type of tree, such as an apple orchard, or various fruit trees, in which case it is generally referred to simply as "orchard." Quote Grove A grove is a small group of trees without underbrush, especially trees that bear fruit, says the Merriam-Webster online dictionary. "Grove" has its origins in Old English from a word meaning "grove" or "copse," with a meaning similar to "thicket." Therefore, grove can refer to any small stand of trees -- deciduous or evergreen -- or a small wooded area kept free of brushy undergrowth. To sum it up; Orchards will have grass or some other type of ground covering while the ground under the trees is bare or nearly so in an Grove Fixed it ..

sassnetguy50 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Around here we call 500 walnut trees “the woods”. It doesn’t have to be a stand of exactly 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Underground. Peanuts are a legume, and grow underground in pods. I used to hunt in Georgia, and the land we had was bordered on one side by a vast expanse of peanut cultivation. Deer like peanut plants. I like deer.

Tom Bullweed Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Usually a group of trees is called a stand. Calling it an orchard seems to focus more on the fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MizPete Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 If you're lucky, in your mama's back yard. They planted the pecan tree when I was six months old. It bore only every other year, but had enough nuts for both families for the two-year period. We lost it in 1989 to hurricane Hugo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that is not a nut or a fruit, is a flake. I've watched CA go from the 5th largest (formerly conservative) industrial power in the world... to a 3rd world socialist banana republic today.
