Fruit trees

Thurah's Baroque Garden was also a fruit garden, the avenues consisting of fruit trees. This meant that the garden was not merely part of the overall amenity value of the place – its fruit helped the economy. Even today, apples from the garden are used in Gl Holtegaard’s cider which is on sale in the museum shop.
Most of the fruit trees are known from a list from The Royal Fruit Tree Nursery in Odense from 1795, which is the earliest record of types of fruit trees cultivated in Denmark.
