Dwarf Fruit Trees

Fruit trees that are referred to as dwarf fruit trees are commonly grafted onto 'dwarfing rootstock' this is particularly tree of dwarf citrus trees where the rootstock 'flying dragon' is widely used. Semi dwarf fruit trees are more common in other types of fruit tree such as Apple, Avocado and Mango. Semi dwarf fruit trees are grafted onto rootstock such as M27, M106 and M9. So how big will a dwarf fruit tree grow? Those classed as 'dwarf' should be about 1/3 the size of the true form, those classed as semi dwarf should reach around 1/2 the size of the true form. Other factors also come into play with the size of fruit trees..
