WHEN TO PLANT 
Our hardy Pennsylvania Grown Trees may be planted successfully 
either fall or spring. The condition and type of soil where the trees 
are to be planted will have some bearing on deciding when to plant. 
We book orders for shipment at the proper time or on any date 
specified. We do not ship trees until they are perfectly dormant which 
is usually from October 15 to the middle of May. Send your order in 
early and let us take care of the shipping date. 
DISTANCES FOR PLANTING 
Pecans and black walnuts 50 to 70 ft. apart. We prefer 70 ft. for 
permanent orchards. English Walnuts, 40 to 60 ft. apart; filberts 15 to 
20 ft. apart; hickories 40 to 60 ft. 

NUMBER OF TREES TO THE ACRE 
15 ft. apart each way 205 trees; 20 ft. apart 110; 40 ft. apart, 28; 50 
ft. apart, 17; 60 ft. apart, 12; 70 ft. apart, 9 trees. 

BALLING AND BURLAPPING 
Nut trees, as we grow them, can be transplanted successfully with- 
out this added expense for the customer. Our trees are root pruned in 
the nursery to form a branched root so they will transplant. In trans- 
planting rare varieties of trees that cannot be replaced it is logical to 
go to every possible expense in transplanting trees. Trees ranging 
from three to six ft. tall take a ball of earth weighing from 100 to 400 
lbs. to fairly well protect the roots.
