Spaced area Explanation: Now we are talking about fruit trees, right? Then, as common sense dictates, at tree planting we must give ample space between these young trees as it is expected they eventually grow several feet tall. Also people have to work around it at harvesting. Moreover as Latvia not being in a tropic zone, the trees must be mulched for cold season, and weeds have to be pulled out in warm season (these don't necessary for big tree plants though). This also requires broader spacing. I am in agreement with other answerers that there is no particular gardening/agricultural terminology for what you are talking about, but "spacing" is commonly used. Thus my answer --- with a bit of twist. |
