Oh my! Thats fantastic looking! The deer and you aren't short on apples to munch in the summer months ah! :)
 
Very nice Ma Vt!!!
 
Hey MA VT - Looking good!! What's your soil composed of and what did you use for spacing between trees and rows?
Nice job...;)
 
Nice orchard!
 
Very nice! You've definitely got the rootstock variety covered. :) Are you planning on trimming your lower branches or just leaving them permanently fenced?

I am going to leave the lower branches for now.
I plan on removing the cages in a few years.
 
Nice looking orchard/property. Your trees look great.

Nice job...;)

Soil is sandy loam it used to be a corn field there for years. Spacing is around 18' and row are around 20' or so.

Just keep something on the trunks when you do. I did that a few yep ears ago and had the coolest biggest rubs on my gorgeous 4th leaf trees on antonovka rootstock Thank god they didn't rub all the way around. Put small cages around them after that and the trees are doing fine now
 
Great looking orchard, I am still looking for my first apple bloom of the year in MN.
