Maybe I'm going down the rabbit hole to far here but I've got 18 apple Crabs and 2 full size eating apple trees coming from blue hill this spring.
I'll be making a sort of orchard in what is currently alfalfa. These will basically be planted in a square just on the south side of an old homestead group of trees (no rows).
I'm planning on spacing of 20ft between trees and between rows.
I've got 2 Buckman Crabs, 2 Big dogs, 2 Chestnuts, 2 Kerr, 2 Sweet dog, 2 Trailman, 2 Turning Point, 1 peak attraction, 1 lockdown, 1 sweet november, 1 ed's crazy, and for the eaters are 1 norland, and 1 liberty.
Now to my question,
Does it matter in what order I plant these trees? Should like varieties be next to each other of should I spread them out from each other? Is there a certain sequence I should be planting them in?
How would you do it?
