Well honey, it depends on the type of tree and how close you want to pack 'em in. On average, you can plant around 200-300 trees per acre. But hey, if you're feeling ambitious, go ahead and squeeze in a few more. Just don't forget they need room to spread their roots and grow big and strong.

The number of trees that can be planted in one acre depends on various factors such as the species of trees, spacing requirements, and environmental conditions. On average, for commercial timber production, spacing of around 8x8 feet (64 square feet per tree) is common, which would allow for approximately 100-150 trees per acre. However, for orchard or fruit tree plantings, closer spacing is typically used, resulting in a higher number of trees per acre, sometimes up to 400-500 trees. It is important to consider the specific needs of the trees and the desired outcome when determining the appropriate planting density.
