What would be a safe distance between them? I cannot cut down the trees.
As long as you've got enough room to rotate the antenna, all of the
trees can be that close.
In this case since the antenna is going to be over the top of the
canopy, the only consideration is how much room you need to install the
antenna.
I'm not sure if you're asking because of perceived foliage RF absorption
(on HF, it's negligible) or for installation purposes.
