In a backyard setting, or even a hobby farm, space is a big deal when it comes to growing food. Fruit trees use up a lot of precious space in a backyard or small hobby farm. High density planting is one solution to saving space while increasing variety.
I found a great Youtube channel with a lot of good information. It is run by Oklahoma State University. Here is a video talking about high density planting of fruit trees.
