I presume most of you have apples on semi dwarf rootstock, and thus they are 
planted fairly close.  However, with the bulk of my apples on seedling 
(prunifolia) rootstock - when I planted I guessed at a pattern of 15 to 18 
feet both directions. It will be some time before the open space sees any 
shade. Any suggestions on interim plantings? I'm considering blackberries 
and currants and plums. Anyone out there have similar situation?
When I lived in northern California I remember visiting a young english 
walnut orchard which doubled as an iris breeding business. It was a 
brilliant and beautiful use of unused rich soil.  Minnesota Del Z2/3
