I would not do it like that. I would trench against the slope at least 3 feet deep by 2 feet wide by 50 feet long. The depth of the trench will help prevent evaporation and help the soil absorb the rainfall. After you trench, put your trees on the downslope of the hill. After a couple of years, you will have a green forest!!!
