One zone from starting corner.

Why?
I typically place Samara Tree in starting corner to spawn pods and vines.

starting corner. every single time. placing an obaque wall in front of it would probably solve a lot of your troubles as well.

edit: and when I cast it, it is usually treebonded, so 2 armor, 12 life and potentially 4 regen. just in case anyone was planning to boulder it to death in one hit...

Indeed but paying 11 mana for a temporary solution I prefer to pay 13 mana (boulder + akiro favor) for a definitive solution. Theorically boulder + Akiro Favor will give an average of 9 damage vs a 1 armor target. Enough to get ride of the tree.

In nearly every Druid book the Vine tree will be the target of treebond. So calculate another armor and 4 more innate life into your math equation there. As for the boulder strategy in general Wall of Fog costs only 4 mana, 9 if they wants to extend it.

Easy, guys.. I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I win Mage Wars!
