Evergreen Windbreaks for Orchards 
When you buy trees from us we want you to succeed with them. One 
of the things that will help you make a financial success of your orchard 
is to plant an evergreen windbreak when you plant your fruit trees. 
A windbreak protects and benefits an orchard in four different ways. 
In the winter it prevents winter-killing of trees and buds by sheltering 
the orchard from the worst cold. It prevents killing of blossoms by late 
frosts. Many an unprotected orchard is so located that spring frosts 
destroy two crops out of every three, and a properly placed windbreak 
would be almost sure to prevent nearly all this damage. 
In late spring and summer a windbreak checks the flow of drying winds 
over the ground in the orchard, and so saves the moisture so vital to the 
development of the big crops and large, fine fruit. The greatest benefit of 
all comes in the summer and fall. Then the trees are loaded with fruit, 
and a storm just before picking time means the destruction of the crop 
in an unprotected orchard. An evergreen windbreak will prevent three- 
fourths of this damage, and be worth hundreds of dollars to one orchard. 
Norway Spruce grows fast, gets thick and large. Plant trees from 1 to 
3 feet high in two rows about 4 feet apart, 3 feet apart in the row; or set 
them in three rows. Plant by plowing a strip 6 feet wide about a foot deep 
and set trees to feet apart in the row. Mulch the entire surface with hay 
or buckwheat hulls within an hour after you plant the trees.
