a 
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 es- 
pecially on dryland, Chinese Elm from 6 to 12 ft. 
apart, Russian Olive from 5 to 10 ft. apart and Cara- 
gana from 3 to 5 feet apart are the outstanding 
varieties. 
Further description of the following varieties is 
noted in listing of larger landscape sizes under trees 
and shrubs. 
BARBERY, Thunbergi— Low trimmed hedges or 
informal hedge. Not so successful at higher altitudes 
or in strongly alkaline soils.

CHINESE ELM 
The use of Chinese Elm for Windbreaks has 
exceeded that of any other deciduous variety in 
the plains area the past fifteen years or more 
because of rapid growth, drouth resistance, and 
thick branching habit. Also used for quick 
growing trimmed hedges of 4 to 7 ft.
