In contrast,the peach orchards, which had not been commercialized, only reported 11,300 trees and 1,166 bushels of fruit.78 By 1890, over 5,000 acres were devoted to apple orchards. Three of the most prominent and productive earlycommercial orchards in the state at this time were Royal Orchards near Afton, Lupton‟s Orchards nearWinchester, and the Boaz Orchards in Covesville. According to the 1938 Survey of Commercial Apple andPeach Orchards in Virginia, the planting of apple trees in Virginia continued to increase after 1890, but theestablishment of new trees reached its peak between 1910 and 1925. 79 Other important Greenwood areaorchards included Clarewin, Blair Park, and Appledore, which included commercial apple, cherry, strawberry,and raspberry production.
