Section 2 
4 Rows of Deciduous Trees 
Section 1 
Snowcatch 
It might be said that the Standard Windbreak consists of three 
sections. Section 1} is the snow catch, a double row of trees such 
as Chinese Elm, Laurel Leaf Willow or Golden Willow, 
designed to act as a large, permanent snow fence and to drop 
the snow before it can reach the buildings and clog up your 
drives. 
Section 2 is planted 60 feet inside the snow catch leaving a 
good sized snow trap, which area can be utilized during the 
summer for the garden or home orchard. Section 2 consists of 
4 rows of hardwoods--—2 rows of fast growing trees such as 
Norway Poplar and soft Maple alternated with 2 rows of 
slower growing trees such as American Elm and Green Ash. 
Section 3, or the backbone of the windbreak, is planted in-

side section 2 and is made up of 4 rows of evergreens. These 
are slower growing, of course, and do not make their contri- 
bution as quickly as do the trees in sections 1 and 2. 
If it is not practical to plant the entire windbreak at once, we 
wou'd recommend first planting section 2, then section 1 (the 
snow catch) and then section 3 in order to get the most good 
in the least amount of time. 
In section 1 plant trees 4 feet apart with 6 feet between 
rows. In section 2 plant trees 6 feet apart with 8 feet between 
rows. In section 3 plant trees 8 to 10 feet apart, with 10 to 16 
feet between rows. We will be glad to help with the planning 
of your windbreak if you send us the measurements of the 
available space.
