The wood of a fruit-bearing tree, often used in crafting, furniture making, or cooking for smoking food.
Compound of 'fruit' (Latin fructus) and 'wood' (Old English wudu). The term specifically refers to wood harvested from trees that bear edible fruit, valued for its density and properties.
Fruitwoods like applewood and cherry are prized by barbecue masters because the sugars in fruit trees create aromatic smoke that adds incredible flavor to meat—it's one of the few times a tree's fruit-bearing nature directly affects the properties of its wood.
