Apple Trees

Standard Apple Trees: Full size tree.  Grows to a height of 20-25 ' tall and 25' wide at full maturity. Standard trees generally begin bearing 5-6 years after planting.

Semi Dwarf Apple Trees: Trees grow 12-15 ' tall and 14' wide at maturity. Bears fruit at an earlier age, usually 4-5 years after planting.


Planting Apple Trees

Plant in full sun to produce abundant, quality fruit. Protect from high winds. An open area in a cultivated lawn is ideal, but do not plant them near other trees or shrubs. These other plantings compete for nutrients, water, and sunlight. In general, space semi-dwarf apple trees 14 to 20 feet apart. Plant Standard trees 30-35 feet apart. Apple trees need rich, slightly moist, but well-draining soil. Avoid boggy, low-lying areas where water pools. Do not fertilize the first year after planting, but plan to fertilize annually in subsequent years. Dig a hole as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Plant the tree so the graft sits 1 to 2 inches above the soil. The graft is the area at the base of the tree where the scion was grafted to the root stock. The bark may be a slightly different color, or you will see a crook or knob. If the graft is planted beneath the soil or very close to it, the rootstock will begin to form a tree. This tree grows very quickly and won't produce fruit, or will produce poor quality fruit. Fill in the hole with soil and firm down with your foot. Keep the soil evenly moist the first summer.

Planting Apricot Trees

Select a location in your yard that receives full sun. Dig a deep hole. Add plenty of decomposed compost, if available.

Planting Pear Trees

Planting Peach Trees 

For the best fruit production, the tree should be planted in an area that receives full sun all day long. Morning sun is especially crucial because it helps to dry morning dew off the fruit. Choose a site with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Peach trees won’t do well in areas where soil is compacted or remains consistently wet. Soil pH should be on the slightly-acidic side, between 6 and 6.5. Be sure to avoid planting in low areas, as cold air and frost can more easily settle there and affect the quality of your peaches. Expect your peach tree to produce fruit for about 12 years. The tree should start bearing large crops by the third or fourth year after planting and reach peak production from eight years until it begins its decline around year 12.
