thanks Felix Great promo on this dwarf! I'm looking to replenish an old fruit orchard in zone five [Southeastern colorado] I wasnt planning on planting any dwarfs yet I discovered that some of the trees already planted are dwarfs. Not sure what they are yet and am literally doing triage on them after a few years of neglect [no pruning and some lack of watering issues.] what's the spacing for these and the longevity? I'm fine with the larger trees so I'm not completely sold on the little ones yet. WE have only a 5 acre spread with about half [southwestern corner] intended to be the orchard. Thanks again!

Will the resulting fruit be true to the variety of the original apple?
Fruit trees are grafted nowdays and most are hybrids.
I thought that I heard that, when grown from seeds, they are not true to the original apple variety.
My grand daughter would love this.
Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video. I just started 6 dwarf fruit tree, 4 apples and 2 pears last spring this fall. I hope to create a hedge of fruit along the south side of my suburban lot. So I will pick off the fruit this year so their framework can spread.
