- dredmorbius 10y agoDepends on the tree. For some forestry applications, seeding is done from the air. Note that if you're growing wood for fuel, you're not worried about grafting stock, or the net health (much), or overcrowding (you can thin later if necessary), etc. Planting orchards is, as it happens, pretty expensive. But that's also a pretty high-end case, and the expected life is generally 20-50+ years. Upwards of 300 in cases (olives, grapes, and citrus).
