Amongst them, the elegant Prunus sp. Plum stands tall, its branches adorned with succulent fruits that beckon with their deep purple hues. Beside it, the Prunus sp. Breast of Venus peach and royal peach entwine gracefully, their velvety skin promising a burst of sweetness with every bite. Nearby, the Prunus sp. Large common whiteheart cherry proudly displays its clusters of luscious cherries like precious gems. Further along this fruitful journey lies the captivating sight of two magnificent fruit trees - one bearing vibrant blooms from Pyrus sp. Pear and another showcasing the resilience and beauty of Malus sp. Apple. As we delve deeper into this horticultural wonderland, we witness nature's artistry unfold through stages in pruning - each step revealing meticulous care to ensure optimal growth and bountiful harvests for years to come. In stage 5, expert hands delicately trim away excess branches while preserving the tree's natural form; stage 4 sees precise cuts made to encourage new shoots and maintain balance; in stage 3, selective thinning allows sunlight to penetrate deep within the canopy for maximum nourishment. Amidst these careful interventions lies an exquisite surprise - Prunus persica or early purple peach emerges from stage 2 pruning alongside its larger counterpart – a testament to nature's ability to adapt and thrive under skilled guidance. Pomona Franconica is not merely a collection of trees but rather an ode to nature's bounty; it celebrates diversity while honoring ancient techniques that have shaped orchards for generations. So come forth and immerse yourself in this symphony where flavors intertwine with fragrances as Pomona herself smiles upon her fruitful kingdom.
