Luscious, Full- Sized 
Fruit from Dwarf Trees 
A Dwarf tree does not grow as large as a regular or 
“Standard” tree. It is properly a dwarfed tree. The 
varieties are just the same as they are in larger trees 
but the rootstock used is that of a tree which is natur- 
ally small. The rootstock which we use for Dwarf 
Apple trees is known as Malling II and will produce 
trees about one-half the normal size. 
1. They require less land and a larger assortment of 
varieties can be grown in a small space. 
2. They begin to bear much sooner than Standard 
trees. 
3. Their fruits are_full sized and often of better 
quality. The trees only are dwarf. ‘They bear annually 
and produce a moderate quantity, ample for one 
family. 
4. Dwarf trees are much easier to care for. Har- 
vesting, pruning and spraying operations are more 
easily handled. It is important that all roots come 
from the rootstock. Do not plant too deep. If roots 
grow above the “graft’’ or union of the rootstock 
and the top, a large, Standard tree will eventually’ 
result. Plant Dwarf Apple trees, 12-15 feet apart. Dwarf Cortland
