Hedging 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 severely (2 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 is placed on the out- 
side, or windward side. Caragana, for ex- 
ample, and graduating with a taller variety 
such as Russian Olive, and still a taller vari- 
ety on the inside, such as Chinese Elm. For 
average conditions, and especially on dry 
land, Chinese Elm from 6 to 12 ft. apart, 
Russian Olive from 5 to 10 ft. apart, and 
Caragana, from 3 to 5 ft. apart are the out- 
standing varieties. 
Curved Privet Hedge 
Further description of the following varieties is noted in listing of large land- 
scape sizes under trees and shrubs. 
BARBERRY, Thunbergi. Low trimmed hedges or informal hedge. Not so successful 
at higher altitudes or in strongly alkaline soils. 
CARAGANA. Trimmed hedge 2% to 5 ft. Sereen, border or windbreak. 
CHINESE ELM. The use of Chinese Elm for windbreaks has exceeded that of any 
other deciduous variety in the plains area the past 15 years or more because of rapid 
growth, drouth resistance and thick branching habit. Also used. for quick growing 
trimmed hedges of 4 to 7 ft.
