planting trees on lot lines

[unknownjulie]

I planted about 70 podocarpus trees on my lot lines about 2 months ago. I bought them for 1 dollar each, bareroot, up in hamakua somewhere. I figured I'd loose 2/3 of them. At this point, most are still appearing alive although I only see new growth starting on a few of them. I go out there about every 2 weeks and clear away the vines, and jungle that is trying to take over again. If even five of them survive on each line, then I will consider this a success because they become enormous trees. I am not sure the planting method really matters for their survival. Most I just stuck in the ground with very little soil, but some I put a small amount of peat moss with them.
