Planting Trees -- Some Helpful Tips

Tree Planting in Michigan--this packet gives more in-depth tips


Tree Planting - Site Selection 
Consider the plant's characteristics:


Do they need shade, full sun, dry or moist soil? How tall will it grow and how wide?
Consider what existing natural or man-made features are on your site which may
influence what trees and shrubs you plant and where.
Avoid the following:
       Planting shade-intolerant trees under mature trees. 
       Planting on septic drain fields. 
       Planting trees within 10-12 feet of overhead wires. 
       Planting trees within 10-12 feet of a building. 
       Planting evergreens where they may obstruct vision near roads. 
       Planting salt-intolerant plants next to roadways.
Tree Planting - Plant Spacing 
       Reforestation: Pines - 7 ft. x 8 ft. with 700 trees per acre. 
       Spruces: 6 ft. x 8 ft. with 900 trees per acre. 
       Windbreaks: 8 ft. x 10 ft. between rows.
