Hedge and Windbreak Plants 
The following varieties of trees and shrubs are 
some of! the most satisfactory for trimmed hedges, 
informal hedges, screens, borders, and windbreaks. 
We briefly point out possible recommended uses of 
the varieties listed below. 
Trimmed hedges have plants spaced from 6 to 
12 inches or more apart with 9 to 12 inches being 
most common. Hedging stock should be trimmed back 
severely (1% or more) when planted to induce thick 
growth at the bottom. For screens or borders, plants 
are usually spaced from 18 inches to several feet 
pal depending on the variety and the effect de- 
sired. 
Windbreaks consist of one or several rows. 
Where several rows are used the lower growing 
variety is placed on the outside or windward side. 
Caragana for example, and graduating with a taller 
variety, such ‘as Russian Olive, and a still taller 
variety on the inside, such as Chinese Elm. For 
average conditions, and especially on dryland, Chinese
