Look Ahead to Tree Needs in Erie as Planting Plans Start
Erie extension agent Bill Dickson urges spring tree planting planning now. Decide spacing, species, and quantity to save time later. Windbreaks should shield the farmstead from north and west, with field windbreaks on south and west, set 100 to 150 feet from buildings. Prepare sites early, clear debris, plow ahead. Spacing varies by species. eastern Kansas guidelines set 12 to 18 feet between windbreak rows, shrubs four feet apart, evergreens 6 to 10 feet, deciduous trees 10 to 12 feet. A four to six row windbreak is typical. Orders for stock are taken at the Erie Extension office. Kansas State University distributes nursery stock. Walnut and pecan nuts will be limited, priced at one dollar per hundred. Neosho County ordered about 4,000 trees last year.
