How about some more info.? Are the trees for your back yard or a hunting property? Do you already have soft mass available on the property? Are the trees for you or wildlife? Generally the bigger the better, people recommend circling the trees with brush to prevent overbrowsing and protect the trunk with a plastic tube. Here's a link with more info

I'm sorry, I should have included that in my first post. They are for our hunting property. We have two apple trees sporadically placed on our 260 acre property, only one really produces. They are primarily for wildlife, but of course I'll stop by and pick off one too
