Fruit bearing trees is a plant that produces fruit. The trees are grown for their fruit, which can be eaten fresh or used in cooking. The fruit of the tree is also used to make jams, jellies, and other preserves. The trees are native to the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and they are widely cultivated in those areas.

About soil condition, it is necessary that the soil be well-drained, because too much water will cause the roots to rot. The ideal situation is a sandy loam that is amended with organic matter. The organic matter will help retain moisture in the soil and keep the roots cooler in hot weather. If the soil is too heavy, it will not drain well and the tree will suffer.
Similar to other plants, fruit trees need sunlight to produce food for themselves. In general, fruit trees need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. However, some fruit trees, such as citrus trees, can tolerate less sunlight. If a fruit tree doesn't get enough sunlight, it will produce fewer and smaller fruits.
The temperature conditions that are optimal for fruit bearing trees vary depending on the specific type of tree. For example, citrus trees thrive in warm weather, while apples and pears do best in cooler climates. In general, however, fruit bearing trees require a certain amount of warmth in order to produce fruit. If the temperature is too cold, the tree will not produce fruit.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is 50%. Fruit bearing trees require high humidity in the air to prevent the flowers from wilting and falling off the tree. When the humidity is high, the flowers will stay on the tree longer and will be more likely to be pollinated by bees. If the humidity is too low, the flowers will wilt and fall off the tree before they can be pollinated.
For the fertilizer, this family of plant is not too specific and a general all-purpose fertilizer will work just fine. The amount of fertilizer and frequency of application will vary depending on the size and age of the tree and the type of fertilizer you use. For the roots, they are typically found near the surface and do not grow very deep. This is because the roots need to be close to the water and nutrients in the soil.
Pruning is a vital part of keeping fruit bearing trees healthy and productive. By selectively removing dead, damaged, or diseased branches, pruning can improve the tree's overall structure and allow light and air to reach the interior of the tree, promoting fruiting.
Propagation is usually done by seed, cuttings or grafting. Seed propagation is the most common method used to propagate fruit trees. It is also the easiest and cheapest method. Cuttings are used to propagate fruit trees that do not produce viable seeds, such as citrus trees. Grafting is the most difficult and expensive method of propagation, but it is the only way to propagate certain fruit trees, such as apple trees.
Usually, the plant growth rate is determined by the species. However, there are a few general things that affect all fruit trees. The age of the tree, the type of soil, the amount of water and sunlight, and the level of nutrients in the soil are all important factors in the growth rate of a fruit tree.
Common problems for this kind of plant are related to the lack of fruit production, inadequate pollination, and insufficient light. The most effective way to address these problems is to provide the tree with the adequate amount of light and nutrients needed for proper fruit production.
