WINDBREAK OR SHELTER TREES 



I AX -MADE structures soon decay, but trees live on through generations. 

 Nature's way of providing shelter or making windbreaks becomes more effec- 

 tive and secure with the passing of time. 



Both evergreens and deciduous trees may be used for windbreaks but onlv 

 those of the low branched, dense growing, and extremely hardv tvpe should 

 be considered. Thev are listed below. 



EVERGREENS 



Abies Picea 

 Pinus Tsuga 



DECIDUOUS TREES 



Acer ginnala 

 Acer ginnala rubra 

 Acer negundo 

 Cercidiphyllum 

 Fagus sylvatica 

 Populus nigra italica 



Where only a low screen is required, many of 

 the taller growing deciduous shrubs will be 

 found of value. We suggest the following: 



Benzoin aestivale 

 Calvcanthus floridus 



Chionanthus virginica 

 Corn us (in variety^ 

 Deutzia {in variety) 

 Euonvmus alatus 

 Euonvmus europaeus 

 Forsythia (in variety") 

 Hibiscus svriacus 

 Hvdrangea P. G.

 Rhodotypos kerroides 

 Sambucus
