The size an apple tree grows depends on the space its given. Although apple trees can grow up to 30’, most homeowners want a high density backyard orchard with compact trees that are easily managed.  Plant your trees about 10’ apart to maintain trees 10-15’ feet tall.

We carry two main forms: Standard and Semi-dwarf.

Standard trees have a single trunk with a canopy that sits well above the ground.  These are great for walkways or other open areas.

Semi-dwarf are usually grafted onto dwarf rootstock and pruned to grow like a bush from an early age. Their canopies are very close to the ground which is great for not obstructing views, easier harvesting and are the usual go-to’s for planting in pots.

The main factors that impact growth are the amount of space, water & sunlight the apple tree receives.
