How far apart would you experts recommend planting dwarf (8 feet tall and shorter) apple trees for early bearing? The ground is covered in turf, but I've removed a 4-foot wide swath in which to plant. The soil is sandy loam. I plan to mulch the open ground with a 3-inch layer of wood chips after planting.
