PLANNING THE WINDBREAK 
The location of your windbreak will de- 
pend on the direction of prevailing cold or 
hot winds; normal snow-fall; buildings, 
orchards, or crops to be protected. Plant 
at least 3 rows of trees as pictured below, 
being sure to plant far enough from build- 
ings to avoid snowdrifts around the build- 
ings. The inside rows, nearest the build- 
ings, should be 12 ft. apart, with the trees 
12 ft. apart in the rows. The ovtside row 
should be 20 ft. from the inside row, with 
trees 20 ft. apart in row- For Evergreen 
windbreak, plant 2 rows 20 ft. apart, 
trees 20 ft. apart in row. Outside row 25 ft. 
from inside rows, trees 25 ft. apart in row.
