What Trees to Plant Where
The first decision to make is what species to plant. This will depend to some extent upon what product
the landowner wants to grow but, more importantly, it will depend upon the soil and location of the
planting site. Remember, the biggest mistake made in tree planting to date is planting the wrong species.
See the chart for general guidelines.
