I recently tackled the 3-orchard problem. Nice pictures are at http://oeis.org/A003035 . The 4-orchard problem is proving harder because the solutions don't seem as strong. In particular, the solutions for 22-25 points seem easily beatable. I've posted values and a picture at https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2554709/the-4-orchard-problem If anyone can improve these solutions, please let me know. --Ed Pegg Jr
