Row spacing for bunch types should be about 24 inches apart, and 36 inches apart for runner types. Peanut plants bloom about 30 to 40 days after germination....

Besides offering escape from the heat, they often create a focal point for the space. The one tree trait you want to avoid is a towering plant that sheds a lot.
