Trees For Windbreaks In Different Soils And Elevations
The article discusses windbreak planting options based on soil and elevation. On high dry land cottonwood and willows underperform, Russian olive ranks highly, and a dense shelter can be built with box elder rows four feet apart and eight feet between rows. Supplemental native plum rows add fruit and shelter.
Planting Snow Break Hedging for Snow Control
The late leafing habit of ash makes spring planting imprudent as the sod grows too fast. Russian golden willow grows rapidly on moist land. Leave a four to six rod open space on the north and west for a snow break. Use two rows of dwarf dense hedges along the break, such as willow, Russian olive, Siberian pea tree, buckthorn, or other low dense growers to catch snow.
