The spacing examples in the figures below may help you understand some of your planting options. 1 = first tree for planned removal in year X. 2 = second tree for planned removal in year x + y. 3 = a permanent tree. Remember that both pollinators and production trees must be left in the orchard. In the first several years, pollinators should be no further than 25 feet from production trees.
