Bring a mini-orchard home with four complementary apple varieties—Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, and Honeycrisp—chosen for flavor range, overlapping bloom, and reliable cross-pollination. Enjoy fragrant spring blossoms, glossy summer foliage, and generous fall harvests that cover everything from crisp fresh-eating (Honeycrisp, Gala) to baking and storage stars (Fuji, Granny Smith).

This mixed set extends your picking window and adds ornamental beauty to any landscape, whether you’re planting a backyard row, a small home orchard, or a pair of trees near the patio.

Apple Orchard Trees (4-Pack) Care

Plant in full sun (6–8+ hours) with well-drained loam and a slightly acidic to neutral pH (about 6.0–7.0). Water deeply and regularly the first 1–2 seasons to establish; afterward, irrigate during dry spells—especially from bloom through fruit fill. Mulch 2–3" over the root zone (keep mulch a few inches off trunks) to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Feed in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer; avoid heavy summer nitrogen. Prune in late winter to an open, airy structure (central leader or modified leader), removing dead/diseased wood and crossing shoots.

Thin fruit at marble size to one apple every 6–8" for better size and branch health. These varieties cross-pollinate—bees do the work—so keep blossoms chemical-free during bloom. Typical ripening: Gala late summer, Honeycrisp early fall, Granny Smith late October, Fuji late fall. Hardy roughly in USDA Zones 4–8 (check local suitability).

Apple Orchard Trees (4-Pack) Spacing

Space by tree size/rootstock if known: dwarf 8–12 ft apart, semi-dwarf 12–16 ft, standard 18–20 ft. For a simple backyard row on semi-dwarf trees, 12–15 ft on center with rows 16–20 ft apart balances airflow and access.

For an espalier along a fence (dwarf), 8–10 ft between trees works well. Keep all four within 50 ft of each other (closer is better) to maximize cross-pollination and fruit set.
