Dwarf 
Puut Jree 
Fruit trees small enough for any backyard 
or city lot are not only fun, but profitable 
to grow. 
Dwarf Fruit trees are produced on spe- 
cial root stocks that restrict only the size 
of the tree—size of fruit is not dwarfed. 
They also bear younger than standard trees 
—trees planted in the Spring often have 
fruit in the Fall of the following year. 
Our Dwarf Apple trees are budded on 
“Malling [X” roots—producing a true fully 
dwarf type tree. For home gardens, we 
recommend planting 10 to 12 feet apart. 
Commercial p:anting should be 15 to 20 
feet apart. 
Special Planting Instructions—Set the trees with 
the point of union between dwarf root and budded 
variety about 3 inches above ground—this elimi- 
nates the chance of the variety rooting on the stand- 
ard variety which then would produce normal-sized 
trees. Otherwise, dwarf fruit trees are grown and 
cared for the same as any other fruit tree.
