We primarily use M9 rootstock, a fully dwarf stock that restricts the height of the tree to between 8-10 feet. This allows us to plant trees less than two feet apart in rows that are spaced less than 10 feet apart. The result? We can grow more than 2,100 trees per acre!
By maximizing the output of our acreage, we are able to cut back on our water use, manual labor and pest control, and use less land overall, which all contribute to our commitment to the environment.
