The orchard plan below provides plenty of fruit for the 
average family from an area 48 by 48 ft. (Wards plant- 
ing guide, included with your nursery stock order, shows 
other plans). The site selected must have plenty of sun, 
free air circulation and well drained, fertile soil. 
Most fruit trees need to be pollinated by other varieties 
of the same kind of fruit. In large plantings, use one 
good pollinator for every 6 to 8 trees. In small plantings 
a neighbor's tree may serve this purpose, but it should 
not be more than 100 feet away. 
The plan below provides 4 apple trees, 4 peach trees, 
2 pear trees, 2 plum trees and 1] sour cherry tree (which 
is self-pollinating and requires no pollinator). Berry bush- 
es may be used very satisfactorily between rows. G indi- 
cates Gooseberry; C, currants; BR, black raspberry.
