How many trees are needed to make an orchard
- Any number - MPF 00:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- It depends on the size of the tree. Old fashioned apple trees grown on seedling could be as few as 40 trees per acre for varieties like Greenings that had a tendency to spread wide. Modern, trellised or post-supported full-dwarf apples can have 600 to 800 trees per acre. There are experimental plantings that go to even higher density. The trend is to smaller trees at higher density. They are more efficient for pollination and spraying, and they are safer to pick - without picking crews on high ladders.

Merge Fruit garden into Orchard
Support. There is no justification for keeping the one-line text of Fruit garden as a stand-along article/page. By all means, merge it into Orchard. It can always be split out in the future if more text is written independently of Orchard and proper references are collected. --Zlerman (talk) 10:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Support. I think Zlerman said it all. Yueri (talk) 11:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
