Abstract

Abstract The apple industry throughout the world has been shifting from the large, “standard” tree, with its massive, non-economic cambial surface, and its attendant massive machinery, to much more compact units. Orchard densities have changed from 65 trees/ha to densities of 350 to 2000 trees/ha.
