Windbreaks consist of one or several rows. Where 
several rows are used, the lower growing variety is 
placed on the outside, or windword 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 6to 12 ft. apart, 
Russian Olive from 5 to 10 ft. apart and Caragana from 
3 to 5 ft. apart are the outstanding varieties. 
Hurther description of the following varieties is 
noted in listing of large landscape sizes under trees 
and shrubs. 
BARBERY, Thunbergi. Low trimmed hedges or in- 
formal hedge. Not so successful at higher altitudes or 
in strongly alkaline soils. 

CHINESE ELM 
The use of Chinese I2lm for windbreaks has 
exceeded that of any other deciduous variety in 
the plains area the past 15 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.
