When left to their own devices, apple trees can easily reach 30 feet or more in height. Frequently, however, their growth is limited to 10 feet. There are many reasons to limit the height of the tree, but height control can only adequately be achieved through root stock selection.
Apples are propagated by two methods: grafting or budding. The apple tree originated in an area between the Caspian and the Black Sea. Apples were the favorite fruit of ancient Greeks and Romans. Apples are a member of the rose family. Apples harvested from an average tree can fill 20 boxes that weigh 42 pounds each. The largest apple picked weighed three pounds. Europeans eat about 46 pounds of apples annually. The average size of a United States orchard is 50 acres. Many growers use dwarf apple trees. Charred apples have been found in prehistoric dwellings in Switzerland.
