Default How far from house to plant trees?


One foot of distance for each inch of trunk diameter when fully grown
is a fairly good thumb rule.


I have a 10 inch diameter maple that really suggest s 1.5 foot for each
inch in diameter. This for upright types. I also have a japanese
maple which is 10 inch's wide an 6 inch's tall that is about 10 years
old. hmmm.

I was lucky to plant it where we did and was rewarded with many very
mutated maples which we were quick to remove from the mother plant.
Mom would kill them in time.

Have Fun
