Suggestions for planting windbreak for 
protection against northwest winds: 
Rows 1 and 2: Caragana, Russian Olive, 
Chinese Elm, Willow, or Mulberry. Plants 
4 ft. apart in the row. These two rows are 
known as snowbreaks. Leave 40 to 60 ft. 
between them and the next, 
Rows 3 and 4: Caragana, 
Chinese Elm, or American Elm. 
ft. apart in the row. 
Rows 5 and 6: Cottonwood, American 
Elm, or Chinese Elm, Plants 6 ft. apart 
in the row. 
Rows 7 and 8: 
Cottonwood, or American Elm. 
ft. apart in the row. z 
Rows 9 and 10: Austrian Pine, Bull Pine, 
Spruce, Cedar, or Caragana and Russian 
Olive may be used again. 
8 and 10 ft. apart in the row. 
6 ft. apart is the proper spacing. 
The trees and shrubs can be planted this 
fall; leave proper space for the evergreens 
to be planted in the spring. 
First plow a deep furrow, put the seed- 
lings against the straight edge, and then 
throw the loose dirt back in over the roots. 
Then plow a furrow on either side of the 
seedlings, throwing a ridge of dirt up and 
onto them. This will prevent heaving from 
frost during the winter. In the spring, pull 
this dirt away. The first 2 summers, culti- 
vate plenty and keep free from weeds.
