It's far less than what a professional tree planter will manage in a single day in Canada.

It's definitely possible for any healthy adult.

Keep in mind that the 600-1000 number is for "tree age 0" which is a sapling about 6 feet (two meters) tall - the germination/survival rate for planting smaller saplings or seeds is much lower.

Yep, when my wife tree planted she'd carry bags of those on her hips. One member of her team planted a tree every seven seconds, while they were working in BC.

Whoops, my tired morning self read "6 inches" and not "6 feet".

That's a hell of an error. Sorry folks.
