Orchard Tree Spacing Calculator
Orchard Tree Spacing
Calculate the number of trees per acre, total trees needed, and planting layout based on row and tree spacing for orchard design.
Formula
Trees Per Acre = 43,560 / (Row Spacing x Tree Spacing); Total Trees = Trees Per Acre x Acres; Total Cost = Trees x (1 + Replant%) x Cost Per Tree
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best spacing for apple trees?
Standard apple trees need 25 to 35 feet between rows and 15 to 25 feet between trees. Semi-dwarf trees use 12 to 18 foot spacing, and high-density dwarf plantings can be as close as 3 to 6 feet apart.
How many trees fit on one acre?
It depends on spacing. At 20x15 foot spacing, you get about 145 trees per acre. High-density apple orchards at 12x4 foot spacing can fit over 900 trees per acre.
