:stoned Probably the most "not GFY style" thread - anyone of you are experts on fruit tree growing?

So this spring I planted an apple tree, rootstock M26, something like that:



It was +- 0,8-1m in height, just normal selling size.

During the summer (5 months or so) it did not grow much upwards, it did only develop 2 main branches to the sides, maybe 15-20cm in length each.

Is this a normal growth rate? Dudes that sold it (reputable company) said it should bare first fruit within 2 years, but I am seriously doubting this looking at how little it had grown.

Any pros in orchard field?
