🍀 Trefle is a botanical JSON REST API for plants species, allowing you to search and query over all the registered species, and build the next gardening apps and farming robots.
700 trees per acre amount to 5.78 square meters per tree.
2 832 802 per square meter is obviously too many. If I assume 'sqm' refers to a square kilometer, I get 35.3 square meters per tree.
I stumbled upon an inconsistency in the planting density fields - I couldn't figure out how the values in acres and square meters relate.
Take for example the American Hornbeam (https://trefle.io/api/plants/117252):
planting_density_minimum: sqm: 2832802, acre: 700
700 trees per acre amount to 5.78 square meters per tree. 2 832 802 per square meter is obviously too many. If I assume 'sqm' refers to a square kilometer, I get 35.3 square meters per tree.
What am I missing?
