Only time and practice will inform you how many trees you can plant in a day on any particular site taking account of the conditions. Ground angle/topography, plant size, species, ground conditions, how far are the plants from the planting site, prevailing weather, soil type and so on.

 

Piece work is a lot different to day rate. On good sites I could get in 2000 a day, more on really easy sites. On the other hand I could be down to a couple of hundred where it was difficult.

 

If it paid I'd bust my bottom off. If it didn't...

We're getting 15 p per tree.  Does that sound ok?

15p a tree is not bad just get your bag loaded head down and keep going 1500 - 2000 a day and your making good money . A few years ago there was a program on TV called worlds toughest jobs one guy was 5000 trees a day for 12 wks then had 40 wks holiday.
