Half-Standard Trees

Half-standard fruit trees are a great choice for those with a bit more space, offering both structure and a more abundant crop. They grow typically to an ultimate height of around 4 metres (13 feet) and should be spaced about 3.5 metres apart. With a clear stem of around 1.2-1.5 metres (4 – 5 feet), they’re tall enough for mowing between.

At 2–3 years old, these trees are well-established and provide instant visual impact in the garden. Ideal for larger borders, lawns, or orchard-style planting, half-standards combine beauty with productivity.
