I have been thinking a lot about my semi dwarf orchard I want to put in. I may do it differently. What I was going to do was plant 6 trees of various species in 2 rows of three. I was going to summer trim them to keep the height down. However, I was looking at an orchard sellers website ( Trees of Antiquity?) and found a diagram where they suggest if you are going to summer trim the semi-dwarfs for height...to plant them 3 to 4 seedlings in a square or triangle. So they grow like a big bush. Now that is intriguing and would allow me even more diversity in my orchard as I have room to plant three of these groupings in a row. Has anyone else ever done this? Positives, opinions? Please share!
