Where are fruit trees for orchards grown?

Question

While driving along Interstate 5 in California, I saw several recently planted fruit tree orchards. This got me thinking...where are the trees grown in order to plant these orchards, and what do they look like? Are the trees planted very close together? Are these the same farms that supply fruit trees for Home Depot and other stores?
