Individual Plants Versus Dense Plantings
Throughout this manual, we will be drawing a distinction between sparse
planting schemes (individual plants) and densely planted areas. For our pur-
poses, dense plantings are those where the space between the plants’ mature
canopies is less than two feet or where there is some type of ground cover. Figure
2-1 shows a typical sparse planting, while Figure 2-2 shows a typical dense
planting.
