Enter details for calculation.
Total Tree Capacity
Planting Density
Expert Tip
Triangular (hexagonal) layout patterns maximize space efficiency, accommodating roughly 15.5% more trees than square layouts at the same spacing.
Calculation Methodology & Details
Formula
1 acre is equal to 43,560 square feet. 1 hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters. The triangular method incorporates hexagonal close-packing physics.
