Shepherd, Rancher, Farmer... Orcharder?

[CombatWombat51]

What is the name of a person who professionally tends to an orchard? Might it depend on the crop? Are they just farmers? I'd imagine there'd be a more specific term...

orchardist.

Having checked the Home Orchard Society website, it appears this is indeed correct.

Just to confirm.

Orchard Tenders, or if you want to be poetic about it Tender of [type] Trees, although Gardener would also technically be correct. Growers would work as well.

Gee, I'd have just left it at Farmer.

Hmm...do you want the REAL term or something that works in a fantasy world?

Obstkönig, Obstmeister, Obstmann...

For a more 'imperial rome' type of a place...

Imperitor Frutii, who resides in Arx Frutalis...

Wow, perfect. I've got one kingdom that is totally inspired by my Germanic roots. Thanks!
