Rich:

    This spacing is a generic (one set fits all) recommendation.

     If you soil is relatively (or better) fertile, I'd go at least 8' between trees.  If it is relatively poor (compacted clays with little top soil, for example) I'd space them at 5 to 5.5' between trees.

     Also very low vigor (and precocious) varieties should be taken into consideration.

     Would you want to post the varieties?

I'm preparing to plant a small backyard dwarf-apple orchard.  Eight of the
trees will be grafted on Bud9 rootstock.  Most of the web-based guides
recommend at least 6 ft. in-row spacing and 14 ft. between rows.  I'm
curious to know how others have spaced their dwarf apples and how it's
working out.  I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks, Rich
