I have some NAKB9. I am going to plant them 6 feet apart and 10 feet between rows. Does this sound right ?

I am not very familiar with that particular stock. Did you buy it from Copenhaven? Is it some variation of Bud9?

I would say your dimensions are correct if you think they will never put out branches longer than 3 feet. Perhaps ask the supplier what they recommend?

Also, if your soil is poor and gravelly, they will likely take a long time to get to any size. Rich soil and they will fill out fast.

Length of grow season also determines growth/year, but you don't say where you are located.

It is supposed to be early cropping and a slightly smaller rootstock than M9 and yes, I did get it from Copenhaven.

I suggest that you go back to the suppliers where you bought your stock. I can't say the exact distance since it depends on a lot of factors.
