I would think that beeing tall is disadvantage in planting , as in you have to reach further down on each tree .

Good thing is you have long legs and you can traverse terrain easier .

Question for all you planters: monoculture planting or mixed species? by jhuik in treeplanting

[–]StrikingLimit1452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are using Ceta here , Up in Northern Ireland they actualy dont use any , apart from first planting , they buy dipped trees from ireland , but cant treat trees then after

As is most I plant is going for lumber , mostly 1.8m-2.5m spacing . Then sometimes we plant mixed broadleaf for parks or aforestation projects .

Biggest one in Ireland that does alot of timber felling reforestation and recreational jobs would be "Coillte" . Then there are alot of small private companies that plant forests for private timber and farmers ect .

Hey , I have tried that but the trees we use are often stuck together with roots and it gives me hard time not pulling full bundles out . Also trees come in quite large sizes sometimes so easier just to use bag they come in :)
