Planning a fruit orchard

15 years ago

I am working with my wife on planning and purchasing some fruit trees from a online source for our zone 6 (CT) backyard homestead. We have a 2 acre lot and looking to put some fruit trees on about .25 acre portion of our yard.

We already have a 4 foot plum and 6 foot apple seedling in the ground.

We are looking to add more trees this year. Maybe up to 12 depending on what type.

So we have a choice of dwarf (1 - 1 1/2 feet) or dwarf (1 1/2 to 2 1/2 feet) or regular (4-5 feet).

Out of these three types relative to size which one will start producing real fruit fastest?

I am leaning toward semi-dwarf.
