Swedish term or phrase: Radvis blanding
From a text giving instructions on how to establish stands of Douglas fir.

Att plantera douglasgran i blandning med ett annat trädslag kan vara ett bra sätt för att minska risken för att planteringen ska misslyckas då man har två trädslag. Försök har gjorts med radvis blandning av hybridlärk eller vanlig gran.

Explanation:
Hello

Following on from my own research, a chat with Chris in discussion, and Deane's remark in a neutral response to "mixed stand", here is my suggestion.

Apparently, we cannot distinguish between two possibilities in Swedish without more info and it may be that both possibilities are right at times, depending on the plantation layout.

Mixed stand


Explanation:
I think the correct forestry term in English regarding this is the term "Mixed stand", which is when you mix different species of trees.

Example sentence(s):
  • A mixed stand is defined as one in which no single species comprises more than 80 percent of the stocking

neutral  Deane Goltermann: Your explanation seems correct, but I'd say doesn't apply to this Swe term. 'Mixed', fits with my hardcopy dictionary, as does 'rows'. "Mixed by rows" is more likely.
