Apple Tree Spacing

Dwarf varieties can be closer 6 to 8 feet apart in a row.
Apple tree spacing. Standard apple trees need 30 35 feet 9 11 m between trees while semi dwarf apples require 15 feet 5 m and dwarf apples need only 10 feet 3 m peach trees should be spaced 20 feet 6 m apart. Pears and non dwarf sweet cherries are larger than other types of fruit trees and should be given an additional 5 feet. Since insects and wind need to carry pollen from blossom to blossom between trees apple trees and their pollen partners should be planted nearby within 50 feet of one another for adequate cross pollination to occur. The spacing for planting apple trees dwarf.
In regions with cold winters and short grower seasons dwarf apple and cherry trees need a spacing of 6 to 8 feet semi dwarf trees about 15 feet and standard or full sized trees about 25 feet. Standard pear trees need about 20 feet 6 m and semi dwarf pears about 15 feet 5 m between trees. Semi dwarfing rootstocks were commonly planted at a spacing of 22 feet x 16 feet 132 trees per acre during the 1960s through the 1980s. If the roots have dried out soak them in water about 24 hours before planting.
Prepare to plant before you put your hopes in those trees it s best to do a little homework. Semi dwarfing rootstocks typically produce trees that are about 60 to 90 of standard size with a height of about 14 feet to 22 feet depending on the rootstock. If space is tight you can use 3 5m between the trees if they are bush trained but a wider spacing is better for trees trained as half standards. A row of full size trees should be planted 15 to 18 feet apart.
When growers prefer to insert pollinizer trees within the row. Dwarf apple trees grow to be a height of 1 to 8 feet will bear fruit after two to three years of age and can. Semidwarf apple trees have a life expectancy of 30 to 35 years and will bear fruit starting at four to six. Seedlings or full size trees should be planted about 15 to 18 feet apart in a row.
In commercial apple orchards growers often plant a row of pollinizer trees between every four rows of the principal apple cultivar. Tree spacing is influenced by the rootstock soil fertility and pruning.
