# Fruit-Wall

## Definition

A wall constructed around a kitchen garden or orchard to protect fruit trees from wind and to create a warmer microclimate that extends the growing season. The cost of building and maintaining fruit-walls is justified by the higher value of the protected fruit production.

## Source Chapter

Book I, Chapter 11

## Context

Smith uses fruit-walls as an example of agricultural improvements that increase the value of land by enabling the production of higher-value crops that would not otherwise be viable in the local climate.
