medium growers, Birch, Willow, etc., 25 to 30 feet. 
Where space is limited, trees and plants may be 
set a little closer. Where plenty of room is available 
set far enough apart so your trees and plants can 
develop properly and .give best results. 
FILLERS. Fruit growers often prefer to set their 
apple trees at least 40 feet apart, with a filler of 
Peach, Plum or Cherry trees between the rows as 
the latter do not live as long as apple tres. Small 
fruits, berries of all kinds, Asparagus and Rhubarb 
may also be planted between the young orchards, 
giving you almost immediate revenue from the ground 
until the fruit trees commence to bear.
