Fruit trees by origin

Fruit trees don't stay where they're born. Over millennia, human civilisations carried food trees across the globe — tamarind from Africa, pomegranate from the Middle East, feijoa from South America, macadamia from Oceania. Today, all of them grow together in one garden in the Algarve. This page maps the origins of every fruit tree at Orchard of Flavours, from Africa to Oceania.

Choose a region to discover which edible species come from there, what they look like, and how they grow in our warm climate in southern Portugal. A fun way to explore the world — and a useful guide for anyone planning a subtropical or food forest garden.
