CCRES high density orchard







High density orchard is defined as any orchard with more than 150-180 trees per acre. However, many highly productive commercial orchards in Croatia today have 150-180 trees per acre and higher density could be anything over 180 trees per acre. There are several characteristics in addition to tree number that are included in a high density orchard system. Besides having an increased number of trees per acre, a high density orchard must come into bearing within 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this early production, it is essential to use a precocious dwarfing rootstock. Although it is possible to restrict the growth of trees on semi-dwarf rootstocks, they do not have the genetic capacity for early bearing.



High density orchards require trees propagated on dwarfing rootstocks. Presently, only three commercially available rootstock groups or types can be recommended to develop a high density orchard system. Having small trees is not enough; the trees must bear fruit early in the life of the orchard. The rootstocks that are commercially available in Croatia to fit this niche are M.9, Bud.9, and M.26.
