The cultivation and the scientific study of fruit trees or fruit-bearing trees is known as the pomology. In pomology, the fruit-bearing trees are classified depending on the anatomy and the morphology of the fruit and its tree. There are different kinds of groups including the stone fruits and the pome fruits. Some of the most common examples of pome fruits are pears and apples. On the other hand, the stone fruits include the likes of almons, apricots, peaches, nectarines, cherries, as well as plums.

Fruit-bearing trees come in different sizes and forms. Some of the most common forms of these fruit trees are cordons, bush trees, fans, espaliers, and the step-over espaliers. All of the said forms can be achieved by tying some parts of the branches of the trees. This is essential so that the tree can retain its form while the plant grows. It is also important that the distance between the fruit bearing trees must be observed when planting. This is to give enough space for the roots and the plants when growing. Below are the two most common and most popular fruit-bearing trees that are cultivated and eaten in most parts of the world.
