This requires understanding the characteristics of the land, local microclimates and regional climate factors that affect potential planting sites. You can start with a simple map of the planting site. Next, learn about the patterns of sun, shade, cold air, wind, soil, people, wildlife and water flow at your site. Take any potential wildfire danger in your area into account in site design. Plan ahead to ensure there is enough room to allow young trees to grow to maturity.
