Hedge and Windbreak Plants 
The following varieties of trees and shrubs are 
some of the most satisfactory for trimmed hedges, 
informal hedges, screens, borders, and windbreaks. We 
briefly point out possible recommended uses of the 
varieties listed below. 
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 (% 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.
