If I need to plant trees 5 meters apart how many can i plant on one acre?

Question

If I need to plant trees 5 meters apart how many can i plant on one acre?

Answer 1

Assuming it's a perfect square acre, and you can plant right on the edge rather than 5 meters from it.

Basic conversion gives us:

   1 acre = 4,046.85642 meters squared

Square root 4,046.85642

    = 63.6149072

For this purpose, We'll round down to 60.

If trees are 5 meters apart:

  60/5 = 12.

So that's 12 rows of 12 trees...

Solution: 144 trees.

EDIT: Yeah whoops, i forgot planting on the zero meter mark. It's 13x13 in this case, so the answer is 169. Apologies

Answer 2

5,280 feet in a mile

x 5,280 = 27,878,400 sqft in a sqmi

÷ 640 = 43,560 sqft in an acre

√ ≈ 208 ft on a side

5m ≈ 16.4'

208'÷16.4' = 12.7 trees

"Fenceposting" gives us 13 trees on a side

13 x 13 = 169 trees

Answer 3

144 trees

Answer 4

if you put them in a grid formation you can fit about 40, since there is 4050 square meters in an acre, and 5 meters on each side means a 10x10 square, 4050/100 =40.5

Answer 5

That depends on the lenhth & breadth of ur land

Answer 6

TJ152 has the right idea, but forgot one thing - to plant a tree at the zero meter point.  So you can get 13 trees in a row, not 12. So would would end up with 13 rows of 13, or 169.

Answer 7

not enough info, an acre can be various shapes.  An acre is 43,560 sq ft.

If that is a circle or square or rectangle, that will have implications on how many trees can be planted on it.
