Proper Spacing of Fruit Trees

(1/3) > >>

johnb51:
If I intend to plant the smallest varieties available and/or prune heavily to keep all of my fruit trees at about 10 to 12 feet, what do you think should be the minimum distance between trees?  I'm not necessarily looking to create a solid fruit hedge, nor am I going to plant mutiple trees in one hole, as far as I can tell.  I realize how important full sunlight is to most fruits.

Patrick:
Picture full grown trees when planting.. Also I starting planning on how much maintenance I would want to create 15years from now.. My age then, and whether or not you have good waste removal in your community.. That you dont have to really process the debris (size requirements, bundling, limits to amount per week).  I guess the standard high density planting would be no less than about ten feet on center between trees??

murahilin:
Do you know what types of fruit trees you will be planting?

Patrick:
Im thinking about planting some more Mango trees and some other species in the Mango family, then three Garcinia too..  Oh you mean him not me! Ha Ha!

I want to include about 4 mangoes, 2 lychees, and possibly 3 avocados, and then assorted other trees (1 of each): persimmon, guava, atemoya, sugar apple, sapodilla, carambola, tangerine, jackfruit?, mamey sapote?
