History and Reality of Fruit Tree Gardening

Regarding my last blog post on the topic of fruit gardening and agriculture, I will explain in more detail where this topic came from. According to historical records, it can be traced back to ancient human civilization. With the development of human society, people realized that wild plants alone could not sustain the population community for a long time, so they began to cultivate and cultivate plants in order to ensure food supply. For example, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient China, ancient Egypt and other areas, these civilizations with thousands of years of history through the selection and planting of fruit trees to improve the food supply, are regarded as an important local culture. And it provides the basis for a trading economy. Over time, the technology has been developed and spread across the globe. The agricultural revolution gradually transformed humans from hunting methods to farming societies that produced food. In different climates and geographical environments, smart people began to plant different fruit trees to suit the local environment.

In modern society, with the large-scale development of technology, the fruit tree economy is still an important part. When the global population continues to grow and urbanization, agricultural production is related to adequate food and nutrition supply, but also involves environmental beautification, economic development and other aspects of the impact. Therefore, fruit gardening and agriculture are still being explored. Nowadays when we see lemon trees growing in the backyards of residents, rows of fresh apples in supermarkets, fig trees for viewing in urban entertainment places, etc., all are part of fruit tree gardening. As you may have experienced, it is the main source of livelihood for local residents and one of the key factors in keeping the local economy stable.

As I mentioned earlier, avocado (Persea Americana) which belongs to Laureaceae family, is a kind of fruit that originated in the Americas, originating in the region of ancient Mexico. There, people began to cultivate the fruit as early as 5000 BC. It is a pod (Berry) with a green or purple skin and creamy flesh that is rich in fat and nutrients. Botanically, the fruit of the avocado is a monocotyledonous plant, belonging to the dicotyledonous phylum (Angiospermae), so its growth characteristics are different from other fruits such as apples and pears. The breeding has undergone many changes in history. Early avocado trees, for example, were cultivated mainly by natural reproduction to meet the food needs of the local people. With the development of global trade, people began to use grafting, genetic hybridization, population pollination and other technologies to breed more hardy, high yield, large fruits and good taste varieties.

At the same time, the increase in extreme climate is a major challenge for avocado production today. As temperatures rise and events such as droughts occur, avocado growth cycles and fruit yields may be threatened. Some agricultural companies are focusing on water-saving irrigation techniques, while growers are trying to breed new varieties for drier weather. In the agricultural and fruit markets, companies and growers are working hard to ensure the quality and safety of avocados from farm to fork. They are trying to develop a better management standard to ensure environmental protection and sustainable development. At the same time, agri-technology companies are innovating to improve the efficiency of picking, packaging and transporting avocados so that consumers can enjoy fresh avocados.
