The orchards are divided into two sections: the citrus orchard and the deciduous orchard. The deciduous orchard contains approximately 100 fruit trees including peaches, plums, apples, pears, persimmons, and figs. The citrus orchard is planted with oranges, lemons, limes, kumquat, grapefruit and guava.
On the south side of the fruit orchard is a triple row of olive trees dating from the 1880's when Kinton Stevens imported the trees from Spain and Italy for his nursery. The rows of olives form a wide allee ending at a wall fountain with a figure of a hippocampus, a mythological horse/sea monster.
An arbor built in the 1920s that used to be covered with lemons was replicated in the summer of 1988. New Eureka lemons were planted at each upright post and have been trained to cover the structure.
