Tree Mulching
In the spring, we plant the majority of our baby trees. We plant thousands of two to three year old baby trees in transplant beds. Our transplant beds are on six inch by six inch spacing in four row blocks. When our baby trees are four years old we move them out to our field plantings. Our field plantings are planted on six foot by five foot spacing, which works out to be about 1,400 trees per acre. Our field planting will take between six and eight years to reach harvest size. We mulch each baby tree with a large fork full of wood chips. The wood chips preserve moisture in the soil, reduce weed competition, and reduce the chance of frost heaving in the winter. We are growing more trees per acre then ever before. We are interplanting baby trees in between mature trees that are ready for harvest. It takes several years to harvest all of the mature trees, which gives the baby trees time to become established. Most of our trees are grown on raised beds to increase air drainage and water drainage. Raised beds maximize the amount of topsoil available to each tree.
