I plant white pine and white spruce. White pine has done better in my heavy clay soil. Probably have a 70% survival rate with the spruces and 100% with the pines. Rototilling a spot and amending a bit does way better than using a dibbler.
IF not watering, invest in some mulch. I buy bunch of bags when they're on sale or clearance. Woodchips are good if you can get them too.

Have you ever had 12,000 planted at a time?

They "volunteer "like crazy on the upland portion of my place
I tried Virginia pines for screens and the deer treated the baby trees like Andes dinner mints

Yeah, there are 100,000’s of thousands of acres of loblolly in south AR. Just turned out to be a hot, dry year and the second time it was a 100 yr flood

I only water trees planted this year, which is 7 trees. I’m giving each one about 3 gallons of water every 7 to 10 days unless we get good rain.

That's all we did at camp too. First year only to get them established. Then they're on their own.
