Just kinda thinking through my planting strategy for next week (picking up 6 trees from Whitetail Crabs) and the spring (picking up 7 more trees from Blue Hill) to add to the 31 trees already in my tree plot. The field they’re going into looks like a sideways triangle with the skinny end oriented to the East and a somewhat decent slope running from North to South. My question is…there are large trees in the woods to the South, so would keeping the trees up farther to the North so they get “more” sun be beneficial? The other issue is I have a stand just South of the LD tree and on the bottom of the red field divider line in the diagram. Currently the closest tree to the stand is at 45 yards and they should start producing fruit somewhat soon. Definitely did not take that into consideration when planting initially. I guess the long and short of my question is should I spread my trees out higher on the field and just practice more or is it ok to plant them “lower” and have them get a bit less sun. The trees already planted currently get good sun in the morning and evening. Thanks for the help.
