MANHEIM. PENNSYLVANIA 
APPLES 
Apple trees should be set 32 to 40 feet apart. 
Fillers. Most commercial orchards are now planted with 
standard varieties, 40 feet apart each way. Quick, upright 
growing, early maturing varieties are used as fillers, 
planting between standards to make 20 ft. apart; fillers to 
be removed when the standard trees require the room (12 
to 18 years). This requires 28 standard and 82 fillers to 
the acre. We recommend for fillers: Yellow Transparent, 
Oldenburg, Grimes Golden, McIntosh and Wealthy, or 
peach trees.
