I have three 6 ft white pines to plant . How far apart should I plant these trees??? Any other hints would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Sylvia, Honestly, tree spacing is really a matter of personal preference and available planting area. Tree spacing is also dependent on the "look" you are trying to create. Assuming you are not trying to create a buffer or windbreak, I would recommend a minimum spacing of 20 feet between trees. If you don't have 20 feet, then plant them closer. Good luck!
