Dwarf Apple
Trees Boost
Labor Output
To an efficiency-minded apple
grower, happiness can be an
orchard full of dwarf or semid
warf trees.
A study in Washington State
found that worker productivity
averaged about 18 boxes per hour
in dwarf orchards—compared
with less than 12 in orchards
planted to standard size trees.
In standard orchards, where
tree height is at least 13 feet,
workers spend up to a third of
their time moving and climbing
ladders to reach apples that may
be as high as 25 feet. Largely
because of the cumbersome
ladders, experienced male
workers outpick women by more
than four boxes per hour.
Besides easy-to-pick apples,
dwarf orchards offer pickers
another advantage. During the
1968 harvest, workers’ earnings—
determined by the piece rate
times the picking rate —averaged
$3.37 per hour in dwarf orchards.
Pickers in conventional orchards
averaged $2.53.
