Tatsoi spacing and mature footprint
Space Tatsoi 6 inches apart, measured center to center (15 cm).
The mature spread is about 12 inches (30 cm), so plants set at that distance grow together into a closed canopy over the bed.
Treat 6 inches as a planning baseline โ cultivar and local growing conditions shift the final footprint.
