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 severe- 
ly (4% 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 apart, 
depending on the variety and the effect desired. 
Windbreaks consist of one or several rows. Where 
several rows are used, the lower growing variety js 
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 Elm from 6 to 12 ft. 
apart, Russian Olive from 5 to 10 ft. apart and Cara- 
gana from 3 to 5 ft. apart are the outstanding varieties. 
Further description of the following varieties is
