People who are planning to plant apple trees frequently ask 
how long a time must elapse after planting before the trees will 
begin to bear. The question can not be definitely answered 
because the bearing age, even with the same variety, differs in 
different locations and under different methods of treatment. As 
a contribution to our knowledge in this direction the following 
table is given. It shows the number of years that elapsed after 
the different varieties were planted or top-grafted in the Station 
orchatds before the first specimens of fruit were produced:
