Basic method of layout for planting trees?

Answer 1

Here are the basi methods of layout for planting trees:

1.) Square method

this method is widely used by most fruit tree growers because of it's simple design, ease of cultivation and application of insecticide. it is easy to thin the trees by removing alternate trees if the planting distance hapencs to be too close.

2. quincunx method

this method is used when a filer is desired. the permanent trees are planted on the corner of the square. the fillers are semi-permanent trees which yield earlier but will be pulled out in the future thus leaving the permanent trees in the square method. this provides 78% more trees than the square system on the same area.

3.) Heaxagonal or triangle method

Six trees are planted from a hexagon with the seventh tree planted at the center. This system allows 15% more planting than the square method. Th treees can be cultivated in three directions.

4.) Rectangular method

in this method the trees are planted farther apart from east to west rather than north to south. In this method, the trees have more access to sunlight. It is also called the alternate system.
