The Minister of State mentioned the agroforestry scheme for planting trees on land and that you could graze animals under them. Would he ever tell me how close together the trees will be? My knowledge of trees is that much does not grow under them because ash and oak trees, and whatever else, have big roots coming out of them and the grass hardly grows at all where the likes of them are. How close will the trees be?
