By orhcid, I guess you mean fruit tree(orchard), right?

The fruit trees are more like a combination of crops and berry bushes rather than normal trees, with growth stages, temperature tolerance as well as limited harvest time.

The most important matter to notice is the temperature requirement: basically there are two groups of fruit trees, Vernalization and evergreen ones. Usually you will only find some if not all types of vernalization fruit trees around default spawn location. From wiki, these have lower minimum temperature tolerance and need to be exposed to temperatures above the die-below temperature but below 1.5 to 2.5 degrees (Vernalization Temp) for 220 to 280 in-game hours (Vernalization Time) to flowering. Usually the temperature around the default temperate spawn area is ok for their fruiting, but some sort of randomness involved so pay attention to the exact requirement in the handbook. As for evergreen fruit trees, you can only find those in warmer areas and those need a minimum temperature of 5 to 10 degrees above 0 to survive. You may even need a greenhouse to plant them a bit closer to your spawn location.

As for spacing, from my experience and the wiki, it is safe to leave 4 blocks between cuttings planted. Just don't forget to replace those dead cuttings.
