🍒 Space to Thrive - Guidelines for Planting Fruit Trees
Episode 973
Hey fruit tree enthusiasts, Ken and Lisa Lain here! Planting fruit trees is rewarding, but proper spacing is crucial for their health and productivity. Here's the lowdown on spacing your trees for optimal growth and a bountiful harvest.
Standard-size trees: Typically grow 20-30 feet tall and need about 20 feet of space between them. This allows for ample sunlight, air circulation, and room to work in your orchard.
Semi-dwarf trees: These smaller trees, reaching 15-20 feet tall, can be spaced closer together, around 15 feet apart. This is a great option for smaller yards or those who want to maximize their planting space.
Consider the type of tree: Some trees, like apples and pears, tend to grow larger than others, so adjust spacing accordingly.
Pruning and training: If you're willing to prune and train your trees regularly, you can potentially space them closer together.
