Some Thoughts on Fruit Trees

I like fruit trees, who doesn't? But they're so much less demanding than crops. Water them once a week, prune them when they're not fruiting, prop up their weak little limbs when they are, and harvest pure evolutionary deliciousness. Just as domestic dogs and cats have been selected for maximum adorability, fruits have, for a much longer time, adapted for maximum deliciousness and beauty. Maybe someday I´ll have an orchard and a dog and everything will be peachy.
