[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5639600, member: 17"] VERY wide. I wanted a mix of regrowth instead of a pine-only stand. We planted at 10' x 10'. It's been my experience that the pine-only stands are used as cover quicker in the pines' growth cycle than a mixed stand, but the mixed stands last longer as cover. Normally, I expect to see enough growth in a mixed stand that deer will begin using it as cover after the 5th growing season. But these 1.5 Gen pines are growing so fast I think I'll see some use by deer after only 3 growing seasons, not necessarily as bedding cover but in incorporating this habitat into their travel patterns. In a hardwood environment, the visual screen young pines provide after the first freeze can temp deer to travel through the pines instead of the leafless surrounding saplings. [/QUOTE]
