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 beiow. 
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 (1/2 or more) 
when planted to induce thick growth at the bottom. For screen or borders, plants are usually 
spaced from 18 inches to several feet apart, depending on the variety and the 
effect desired. 
Wind breaks 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.
