Dwarf Apple Trees for Home Gardens
This fact sheet describes the benefits of dwarf apple trees and how to plant and care for them.

The dwarfing is caused by grafting your desired stem onto dwarfing rootstock M.7 or M.9. Planting should occur in the spring and usually two varieties are necessary for pollination.
