That's actually way, way less than I'd have thought. 500 trees isn't all that much, really. A nlick of 25x20 trees? What is that, an acre? (Genuinely asking... Giant sequoias will be different from sitka spruce)

An acre is 40,000 square feet. So 25x20 means you get one tree every 9 feet in both directions.

That's pretty dense for a large tree.

It's not far off from commercial pine nurseries though.
