QuestionI work in a RVpark in the Colorado Springs area. A new project here is to create a large dog run for our guests. We want to transplant about 50 small (1' to 5') conifers to line the road. I have your recommended formula for ball size, but the question is: how far apart should the balls be placed to achieve maximum success and future appeal? Thanks, Dick.
AnswerThe spacing will depend on the species of conifers you plant. check with the nursery and ask the width of the tree at maturity. Say it is 10 feet then if you want a hedge type planting plant this tree 10 feet apart and it will close together over time to a solid row of plant. Your local tree nursery can answer these type questions based on the area you want planted and the effect you want to achieve.
