TEMPARATE FRUITS
In geography, temperate
latitudes of the globe lie between
the tropics and the polar circles.
The north temperate zone extends from
the Tropic of Cancer at about 23.5
degrees north latitude to the Arctic
Circle at about 66.5 degrees north
latitude. Regions with a temperate
climate are usually characterized
by having roughly equally long winters
and summers. Temperature extremes
are uncommon in temperate climates
but do occur in regions also affected
by outer limit of their temperature
tolerances. Leaf bearing trees dominate
this climate close to the coastal
regions and ferns dominate the northern
region as well as some inland parts..
The apple, pear, cherry, and plum
are the most widely grown and eaten,
owing to their adaptability. Many
other fruits are important regionally
but do not figure prominently in commerce.
Many sorts of small fruit on this
list are gathered from the wild, just
as they were in Neolithic times. It
includes the varieties like,
