Frosts Kill Low Area Trees in Fruit Planting Advice
Virginia Tech horticulturist Fred R. Dreiling warns spring frosts kill fruit trees in low areas. Plant on high ground and avoid strong winds. Recommended spacings: semi-dwarf apples 20 ft, full-dwarf apples 12 ft, standard pears 25 ft, dwarf pears 20 ft, sour cherries 20 ft. Use deep, well drained soil and plant multiple varieties for pollination.
