Regarding solitary planting and row planting, this is the most beautiful interpretation I have ever seen~

There are trees in every landscape, and different arrangements can give people different artistic conceptions. Common plant arrangements include: solitary planting, paired planting, row planting, cluster planting, group planting, forest planting, hedge planting , etc. The following will tell you about solitary planting and row planting.

Planting alone does not mean that you must plant a tree with no grass growing within a 100-meter radius. It is not a tree that stands alone, but the center of attention, so there can be supporting characters around it. You can get a feel for it through the following diagram.
▼The first type is an isolated tree that provides both shade and ornamental purposes.

▼The second type is isolated trees that are created purely for artistic purposes.

Highlighting the individual beauty of a single tree, as the landscape center and visual focus of a partially open area, can play a role in highlighting the landscape and guiding the line of sight. For solitary planting, generally choose trees with good tree shape and high ornamental value.
Here is a set of very stylish pictures of solitary plants.

In addition, there are some commonly used solitary landscaping trees for your reference.

Row Plant
Row planting is a planting method in which trees or shrubs are planted in rows at a certain spacing, including single row, circular, straight row, staggered row , etc. Row planting is neat, imposing, and has a strong sense of rhythm. It is often used on highways, railways, urban roads, squares, etc. For row planting, it is advisable to select tree species with relatively neat crown shapes and lush branches and leaves.
For row planting, it is advisable to select tree species with relatively neat crown shapes, such as round, oval, obovate, elliptical, tower-shaped, cylindrical, etc., rather than sparse branches and leaves and irregular crowns. Roads generally have a central axis, and it is most suitable to adopt the configuration of row planting, usually in single or double rows, with one type of tree, or multiple rows if necessary, and with several types of trees arranged in a certain way.

The types of trees with uniform crown shapes should be selected for the row of trees along the road. Among the commonly used tree species, large trees include Pinus tabulaeformis, Cypress, Ginkgo, Sophora japonica, Fraxinus chinensis, Acer truncatum, Populus tomentosa, Cryptomeria fortunei, Platanus, Banyan, Ailanthus altissima, Willow, Albizzia julibrissin, etc.; small trees and shrubs include Syringa japonica, Red yew, Boxwood, Malus chinensis, Rose, Hibiscus, etc.


The spacing between plants and rows should be determined by the type of tree and the degree of shade required. Generally, the spacing between large trees and rows is 5 to 8 meters, that between small and medium-sized trees is 3 to 5 meters, that between large shrubs is 2 to 3 meters, and that between small shrubs is 1 to 2 meters. Planting trees entirely or alternating between trees and shrubs is acceptable.

When planting trees in a row, the symmetry on both sides should be maintained, and the spacing between rows and plants should be equal on the plane. On the facade, the crown diameter, breast diameter, and height of the trees should be roughly the same. Of course, this symmetry is not necessarily absolute symmetry, and the spacing between rows and plants is not necessarily absolutely equal, but can change regularly.

When forming a forest, rows of trees are often planted in variants of triangles, such as equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, etc. Planting trees in rows to form a forest can serve as a background or to divide space. Garden paths leading to scenic spots can be planted in rows to guide visitors' sights.
