To find out how many trees it takes to plant one acre — 
Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the 
plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be the number of 
square feet for each plant or hill, which, divided into the number 
of feet in an acre (43,560), will give the number of plants or trees 
to the acre.
