TREE PLANTING TEMPLATE - SPACING BETWEEN TREES <br /> Urban Forestry Program <br /> Eugene Public Works Department <br /> To find the distance needed from an existing tree or between new trees please <br /> use the following matrix and figure. The crown spreads for trees can be found <br /> either in the "Descriptions of Recommended Tree Species ", or in many tree <br /> books, or by asking the City's Urban Forester. The spacing between trees must <br /> be used in conjunction with the Site Constraint" template and the "Other <br /> Restriction" template. In practice, the actual spacing will be greater due to <br /> the spacing requirements for Site Constraints." <br /> TREE - A <br /> Crown Spread <br /> Distance Between Trees 40'+ 30' 20' <br /> CO ' 40'+ 40' 35' 20' <br /> s_ <br /> a <br /> w e' 30' 35' 35' 20' <br /> We <br /> c <br /> F-- ° 20' 20' 20' 20' <br /> v <br /> For example, two bigleaf maples (40'+ crown spread) would be spaced 40 feet <br /> apart.
