Oak spacing

[Black Swamp]

How far apart should I space my oak tree ROWS?

Mine planed for CRP are only about 20ft,i would say 20 if you have a spade and can move some when you see how they do are 30-40 if you are sure they will be fine.
I couldn't move mine because of the sandy ground they had huge tap roots when they were 8ft

Well as of right know I planted them 30 feet apart by 30 ft rows

If you want future timber value it is better to crowd them some so that they will grow more straight up rather than spread out. If you are only concerned about dropping acorns, I think your spacing is fine. That wide spacing will make it easier to do maintenance in the early years. Once they get their head above everything else, there will be no maintenance.
