Formula and example

How it is calculated

Intervals = round up(length / spacing); plants = intervals + 1, with both lengths in the same unit

Worked example

A 10 m length with a plant at each end and 50 cm spacing requires 21 plants.

Things to check

  • The model places a plant at each end. Suitable spacing depends on the species and growth habit.
