(snip) I am running an experiment Kevin of a pet-theory of mine. I believe the maximum best conditions of an apple-fruit orchard is to plant the trees 20 feet apart but to have some pine or spruce tree every other one. The evergreen makes the soil of the best proper PH for the nearby fruit trees. I have a case example of this now wherein my best pear tree is smack up against a blue spruce. I was looking yesterday for a one word to describe that pattern. The best word I can think of is a checkerboard. A checkerboard array where the white square is a fruittree and the black square is a evergreen pine or spruce tree. And to have trees that mature at about the same height. Another one word is "alternate". To alternate the rows with fruittrees and evergreens. I believe the maximum growing conditions for a organic fruit orchard where no chemicals are applied would have a checkerboard array of evergreens with fruittrees in order to maintain optimum soil PH.
