by

Apple Tree Planting Density on 1 Acre

  • Standard-sized trees: 36 trees per acre
  • Semi-dwarf varieties: 170 trees per acre
  • Dwarf apple trees: up to 400 trees per acre

Tree Density Considerations

  • Tree density for normal apple trees: 60 to 80 per acre
  • Orchards aiming for high yields: 100 to 150 apple trees per acre
  • Spacing between apple trees: 12 to 20 feet within rows, 18 to 24 feet between rows

Apple Tree Production and Yield

  • Dwarf apple tree: 40-160 lbs of fruit per season
  • Semi-dwarf apple tree: 200-400 lbs of fruit per season
  • Standard apple tree: 400 to 800 lbs of fruit per season

Apple Tree Planting Guidelines

  • Establishing apple trees: dig holes of 25 inches diameter and depth
  • Proper spacing: at least 8 to 10 feet between structures and apple trees
  • Tree yields range from 12 to 15 kg per tree annually

Future Tree Growth and Considerations

  • Future growth plans: consider equipment access, irrigation, and tree density
  • Maximum yield: determine optimal tree density to avoid yield decreases
