Medicine is not for everyone. Choosing to pursue a career in medicine for prestige or financial rewards will likely be disappointing, as most physicians find that medicine is a vocation that requires a commitment to service, lifelong learning and the dedication to practice competently and compassionately.
Though in many European orchards the number of trees per acre is set at 5,000 trees or more, in the US the apple tree density starts at 450-485 trees per acre with a maximum of 1,100 trees/acre. This is a recommended number for the dwarf apple trees.
Depending on the type of root stock, 100 to 500 apple trees are planted to the acre. In Virginia, the estimated commercial apple yield per acre is 700 bushels. Seventy percent of Virginia apples are sold for processing and made into popular products such as applesauce, apple juice, apple butter, slices and cider.
