The data on growth and productivity indices of Antey and Tellisaare the apple tree varieties on 62-396 and 54-118 rootstocks were collected in 2001-2005. In row spacing varied from 1.5 to 3.0 m, planting density was 833-1666 trees/ha. The decrease in trunk cross-sectional area and crown volume occurred when in-row spacing diminished. High cumulative yield effectiveness (kg per tree) for five years was obtained for Antey and Tellisaare varieties on 62-396 and 54-118 rootstocks with in-row spacing 2.5-3.5 m, which accounted for 200.5-229.8 kg/tree and 66.9-97.7 kg/tree, correspondingly. With the increase in planting density the tree productivity decreased by 1.3-1.1 correspondingly. The highest crop yield per ha in growth of 12-16 years after planting has decreased at all the sort-rootstock combinations under planting scheme 4 x 1,5 m. The comparative evaluation of studying varieties during period 2001-2005 has indicated that on power of trees growth the greater height of a crown (0 3,6-4,0 m) has been noted at a Tellisaare variety on rootstocks 62-396 and 54-118. The lesser height of a crown (3,0-3,4 m) was at a Antey variety under the same rootstocks. The crown height of Antey tree variety was less on 15% than at Tellisaare variety
