That should read "about the size...".

Possibly not in western Washington but it seems a bit close for an average
if they're going into all types of climates and terrain. A lot of those
little things would have to go into terrain, e.g., Scotland mountain sides,
where they would have to grow quickly if they are to survive very long;
the less competition, the better.

But for a Southern (US) tree farm in the lowlands, you're probably right.
