What is the row spacing when planting camellia?

1. Plant spacing and row spacing

The general horizontal planting spacing is called plant spacing, and the vertical spacing is called row spacing. These two values ​​are not fixed and need to be determined according to specific circumstances.

1. For sites with gentle slopes and good soil conditions, the spacing between rows and plants should be about 3 meters x 4 meters. When the camellia trees grow up, there will be enough space for walking, which is convenient for people to prune, apply water and fertilizer, etc.

2. If it is a large-scale planting, in order to facilitate the subsequent mechanized operation, the plant spacing can be widened and the row spacing can be appropriately reduced.

3. For camellia trees that are not intercropped, the spacing between rows and plants can be set to approximately 3 meters × 3.5 meters, which is a more suitable range.

4. If the planting site has a large slope and the soil conditions are poor, the row and plant spacing can be set to 3 meters × 3 meters, or 3 meters × 3.2 meters. If the trees are planted too sparsely, it will be detrimental to their growth. If the soil quality is poor, the trees may not grow as lushly. If the trees are planted too sparsely, it will waste land resources.

2. Planting area

According to this planting spacing and row spacing, it is best to have more than 74 plants per acre when planting for the first time.
