Rectangular places trees in a regular grid. Triangular offsets every other row by half a spacing, fitting about 15% more trees in the same area.
Choose "Same as tree spacing" for a square grid, or "Custom row spacing" to set a different distance between rows (e.g. wider rows for machinery access).

6,889 trees fit in your area with rectangular spacing.

  • Your area fits 6,889 trees in a rectangular pattern, arranged in 83 rows.
  • That is a density of 703 trees per acre (1736 per hectare).
  • Switching to a triangular (staggered-row) pattern at the same spacing would fit roughly 15% more trees in the same area.

Next stepYour planting area is 10.00 acres. Verify the area shape is truly rectangular before ordering stock - irregular plots often hold fewer trees than the grid estimate.
