Most fruit species have gone a long way in developing and evolving into the form we know them today. We find the origin of fruit trees in three centers on the Asian continent. The first center of origin is located in the Transcaucasian region of Asia, the Persian Gulf and presentday Turkmenistan. From this area, apples, pears, quinces, plums, cherries, apricots, walnuts and almonds have come to us from the past. They gradually evolved and adapted to our conditions. Some have managed to adapt to the changed climatic conditions, others do not yet, as a result of which there are also some problems in cultivation. It is e.g. susceptibility of apricot flowers to frost, resp. their flowering at a time when spring frosts are still threatening. In Europe, the longest‐grown are pome fruits, especially apples and pears and are the ones that have adapted to the changed environmental conditions, and the local climate will not cause them significant damage. A little later, apricots and almonds, which have not yet fully adapted to the conditions of Central Europe, began to penetrate the Central European region...
