Planning for tree planting
Is this the year to plant that
windbreak? Start a grove of trees in
the bttck fony? Reforest an aban-
doned or highly erodible field?
The Ministry of Natural Resour-
ces (MNR) estimates that two mil-
lion acres (810,000 hectares) of
privately owned land in Ontario lie
Idle, and could support trees.
Tree seedlings from MNR's own
nurseries are available for sale to
landowners with two hectares (five
acres) or more. Seedlings are
available in multiples of 50, and the
minimum order is 100. The price is
10 cents per seedling, plus a $10
handling fee and applicable taxes.
Private nurseries in southern On-
tario can supply seedlings to
smaller landowners or those who
want larger seedlings or a greater
selection of species.
Trees will grow almost anywhere
in Ontario, but before you head out
with a shovel, it's important to do
some careful planning and
preparation. In fact, some of the
work in establishing a large plan-
tation can best be done the year
before the tree seedlings arrive.
If you arc serious about planting
trees, you need to ask yourself three
key question: Why am I planting
trees? What are the best trees for
my site? What care do tree seed-
lings need to establish successfully
on that site? Landowners who
know, or learn, the answers to those
questions are likely to be satisfied
with the results of their tree -plan-
ting efforts.
Selecting The Right Species
The reasons for planting trees
vary from landowner to landowner,
as do the time and resources
available. Those factors should
influence size and location of the
plantation, and the choice of tree
species. Among the many benefits

Landowners consider when planning
a tree -planting project are increased
land values, recreational oppor-
tunities, environmental benefits,
wildlife habitat, prevention of soil
erosion, wind protection, and
revenue from forest products such
as lumber, fuel, Christmas trees or
food crops.
Of course, the site itself plays a
major role in determining what
objectives can be met. Different
land is suitable for different species,
and the wrong choice may result in
wasted time and money. MNR
provides information to help lan-
downers choose the right tree
species for their planting site, taking
into account the lay of the land,
local climate and general soil con-
ditions, as well as the benefits they
hope to achieve.
As a general rule, conifers are
faster growing and easier to es-
tablish than hardwoods. Hardwoods
require more specialized soil con-
ditions, and need more protection
from weed competition and rodents.
The number and spacing of seed-
lings will depend on the species
being planted, and the eventual use
of the forest. As a rule of thumb,
seedlings are planted at 2,500 trees
per hectare (1,000 per acre).
