Tree Sizes

Selecting the right tree size for your property is important. From large orchards to compact patios, we offer options to fit any growing space. At maturity, our trees fall into one of three size categories*:

Dwarf tree size

Dwarf

Reaches approximately 8-10 feet in height and spread. Perfect for limited spaces while still producing full-sized fruit in generous quantities.

Semi-Dwarf tree size

Semi-Dwarf

Grows to roughly 12-15 feet tall and wide. Offers excellent fruit production for its footprint, and most harvesting can be done without a ladder.

Standard tree size

Standard & Unmarked

Typically reaches 18 feet or more at maturity. Ideal for those wanting both abundant fruit harvests and natural shade coverage.
