What it's for
Use fertilizer to grow either almonds or peaches in this orchard. You can switch whenever the orchard is not producing.
Produces
The winter fruit grove is an orchard on the gourmet farm where, once I've watered it with fertilizer, I harvest peaches or almonds in turn, and always some leaves for the composter on top. It takes up a hefty 7x7 tiles, so you have to make room for it on the farm, but it pays you back by holding the last link of the manure, fertilizer and fruit cycle that the recipes in the bakery and the jam factory stand on. You can't buy it in the shop, you get it some other way, for a task, by unlocking a farm or in an event, so it's not you who decides about it but the game. It suits anyone who wants to produce their own peaches and almonds on the gourmet farm instead of buying them at the market hall.
When to build it
As soon as the game grants you the grove, from player level 29, build it straight away, because the first level costs nothing and takes only 30 minutes, though you do need 5 free workers for it. Since you can't buy it again, you'll usually have just the one on the farm, so don't worry about the number, just get it running as soon as you can and learn to switch it between peaches and almonds depending on what you need in your other buildings at the time.
Is it worth upgrading
The level table shows that the price climbs from 612 thousand dollars for level two up to 21.6 million for level nine and the workers needed to run it go up from 5 to 23, but the yield of one dose of fertilizer stays the same even at the highest level, 30 units of seaweed fertilizer still gives you 312 peaches and 14 leaves at level 1 as well as at max. So I upgrade it mainly for the progression, it unlocks higher player levels all the way to 145, and for the XP from building, not for higher production, so I wouldn't push it until I'm forced into it by a player level requirement or a shortage of workers somewhere else.
