Today is a great day for planting; it\u2019s February, a little bit mizzy, but this is a perfect time to plant bare root trees.<\/p>\n<p>So the first thing you need to think about is where you\u2019re actually going to plant your trees. To find the perfect site, you want somewhere with really good, drained soil, and you want at least six to eight hours of sunlight a day.<\/p>\n<p>Here is my site, as you can see behind me. What I\u2019ve done is marked out the area with these old stumps just to show where I want to plant my fruit trees. You want to plant them about 20 to 30 feet apart. This ensures good light that gets to the canopies of the trees.<br> Make sure that they don\u2019t grow too close together so that when they\u2019re in full growth, they have room to produce the fruits that you want.<\/p>\n<p>So today, we\u2019re doing a mixed fruit orchard, but you can use the same techniques for just an apple orchard, pear orchard, and more.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve chosen some trees for our family, what we want to grow and what we like to eat. I\u2019ve got a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/summer-sun-cherry-trees\">Prunus avium \u2018Summer Sun\u2019 cherry tree<\/a>. So these are all half-standard trees, so they\u2019re going to grow to be nice big trees. I\u2019ve got a couple of cherries, a couple of apples, and a pear tree. You can go onto our website, get pre-made fruit tree collections, or select the trees you want using our pollination checker.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s get planting our trees. What you\u2019ll need is a spade, stakes, ties, possibly mulch mats and pegs, some rootgrow, gloves, and a mallet for banging in those stakes.<br> You may also want tree guards to protect the trees from rabbits and deer.<\/p>\n<p>One of the other things you may need is some extra compost. I\u2019ve got good draining soil here, so I\u2019ll use excess soil to backfill the holes. <\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019ve got my two apples; I\u2019ve already planted my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/bramley-apple-trees\">Bramley<\/a>, which I will show you at the end, and I\u2019ve got two eating apples: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/katy-apple-trees\">Katy<\/a>, which is juicy and fruity, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/coxs-orange-pippin-apple-trees\">Cox\u2019s Orange Pippin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019ve got the trees in place where I want to plant them. I\u2019ll dig a square hole, probably twice the size of the actual root, just to make sure I can get all the roots in. You want to dig a square hole instead of a round one to encourage the roots to spread out.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to take off this top layer of grass and start digging down, and keep the soil that I\u2019m going to backfill. <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll see here where the root collar (meant to say graft union!) is, that bit here where it juts out: make sure that you don\u2019t put the soil above that. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll dig down deep enough, ensuring the soil covers the roots nicely. I\u2019ll place a stake slightly to the side, leaving a gap to tie my tree, ensuring it\u2019s level. Now that it\u2019s sturdy, I\u2019ll plant the tree, give the roots a bit of water, backfill, add root grow, and completely backfill.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve excellent soil here, a bit rocky in places, but I\u2019ll work through it. Now that the hole is deep enough, I\u2019ll plant the tree, securing it with a tie for backfilling. I\u2019ll add a bit of rootgrow, position the tree, backfill, and water it in.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I\u2019ll put the mulch mat on, cutting a slit and pegging it down to secure it in place. Finally, I\u2019ll add some tree guards to protect against rabbits.<\/p>\n<p>And there you have it, our first tree planted for our orchard. This is the cherry tree, and we\u2019re now going to plant the next ones. It\u2019s the same process, and hopefully, I\u2019ll speed up the video for you.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, we now have the whole six trees there, creating a great orchard. You don\u2019t need huge amounts of space, but you can definitely plant your orchard. Thanks for watching.<\/p><\/details><\/p>\n<h3>How far apart to plant fruit trees<\/h3>\n<p>Wider spacing is less demanding on the soil, so it\u2019s one way to manage poor, dry locations.<\/p>\n<p>Most home growers keep their fruit trees as a <strong>Bush<\/strong>, which means on a short trunk about 80cm tall. <br>3.5 metres between trees.<\/p>\n<p>Fruit trees pruned as <strong>Half Standards<\/strong>, with a trunk 1.2-1.5 meters tall, are good for mixed orchards where you will grow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/berry-bushes-soft-fruit\">soft fruit bushes<\/a> between the fruit trees.<br>4-5 metres between trees.<\/p>\n<h3>Mixed orchard fruit tree layout<\/h3>\n<p>List what you will plant and design accordingly. Each row will alternate species, ideally from stone fruit to fruit with pips.<\/p>\n<h4>Basic Plan for 8 fruit trees<\/h4>\n<p>The next row does the same, starting with the next species along. The cultivars should also be different. So for two rows of the four main fruit trees grown in the UK:<\/p>\n<figure><table><tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Row 1:<\/td>\n<td>Plum \u2018Victoria\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Apple \u2018Bramley\u2019 <\/td>\n<td>Cherry \u2018Stella\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Pear \u2018Conference\u2019<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Row 2:<\/td>\n<td>Apple \u2018Fiesta\u2019<\/td>\n<td> Cherry \u2018Vega\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Pear \u2018Onward\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Plum \u2018Oullins Gage\u2019<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>In this way, two trees of the same species <strong>never share a full side<\/strong> of their canopies, and where they <strong>share a corner, it\u2019s a different cultivar<\/strong> of the same species.<\/p>\n<h3>Include Nitrogen Fixers for larger orchard plans<\/h3>\n<p>If I double the length of the rows above to 8 plants long, that\u2019s a good point to divide them with <strong>nitrogen fixers<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/alder-trees-alnus\">Alder<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/sunburst-honey-locust-trees-gleditsia-triacanthos\">Gleditsia<\/a> in the middle, which <strong>improve the soil when I prune<\/strong> or coppice them. <br>If I have no other use for their wood, I can mulch it around the orchard.<\/p>\n<figure><table><tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Plum \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Apple \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Cherry \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Pear \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Alder or Gleditsia<\/td>\n<td>Plum \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Apple \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Cherry \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Pear

\u20182\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Cherry \u20182\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Pear \u20182\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Plum \u20182\u2019<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h3>Further Research<\/h3>\n<p>Stefan Sobkowiak goes for even more diversity in his orchard, using an ideal trio of a pip-fruit like apple, a stone fruit like plum, and a nitrogen fixer; in the field life, isn\u2019t alway so neat, so it could be apple-pear-nitrogen fixer. <br>By using nitrogen fixing trees after every two fruit species, they are close enough to make good supports for his waist-high drip irrigation pipes, which is great in a mowed, working orchard.<\/p>\n<figure><table><tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Plum \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Apple \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Alder or Gleditsia<\/td>\n<td>Pear \u20181\u2019<\/td>\n<td>Cherry
