Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree Claire Cox: Yes, this would make sense - both the amelanchier and the malus are small trees with a wide spread which would be suitable for roof gardening

  -> Thanks, Claire.
neutral Cetacea: You are right, "having a wide spread" is a common qualifier, but wouldn't you rather use "mit" in German if this were the meaning?
2 hrs
  -> Yes, you may be right. It would be an odd way of expressing it.
neutral Zarina: Abstand has not the same meaning as Stand.

extra wide original (plant) spacing

Explanation:
These trees are grown very widely spaced to make them especially strong and symmetrical (see my reference for "solitary trees"), hence the "*aus* extra weitem Stand", meaning from extra widely spaced planting/cultivation. Of course, such trees are more expensive because growing them takes up more space.
