Also the game form of the sweet cherry (Prunus avium), domestic in Europe and west Asia, might have been cultivated early in cultures.

Homers odyssey, hero pos of the Greek antique ones (800 v. Chr.), never represents to its extensive descriptions in all that fruit is eaten. And constitute a probably-planned Obstgarten naturally nevertheless for the poet pears, apples, figs, olives and Weintrauben; one, which would bring fruits out over long time in the year:

: Except the yard a large garden is close of the yard door: On four mornings, on all sides of the fence moved.: Large trees stand in it in sumptuous growth: Apple trees with shining fruits, garnet and pears: And also sweet figs and blows, green olives.

: Fruit never spoils for those, nor it is missing winter such as summer: During the whole yearly, separate the constant west breath: Out and let the others drive the one mature.: Pear on pear matures there near and apple on apple: in addition, grape/cluster on grape/cluster and likewise fig on fig. (Homer, odyssey 7,112)

King Laertes recognized its son Odysseus, which returned to ten-year erring travel home, by the fact that he could call him the sort names of the trees, which he had once given him (24. Singing): Because I accompanied you as Knab' in the garden; we went around under the trees, and you called and showed me everyone. Thirteen trees with pears and ten fully reddish apples you gave me and forty fig trees"… the example illustrate ownership structure in the early fruit-growing

Cut measures

The cut of fruit trees in the fruit-growing serves the preventing and the Ertags and quality optimization to reduce about in order Alternanz.

Is regarded critically the use of pesticides, which is frequent with the fruit-growing as with all Monokulturen also. Thus there is an ecological fruit-growing today apart from the conventional fruit-growing also. In the last years in the fruit-growing ever more held integrated plant protection introduction.
