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 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 outside, or windward side. Caragana, for example, and 
graduation with a taller variety such as Russian Olive, and still a taller variety on the inside, 
such as Chinese Elm. For average conditions, and especially on dry land, Chinese Elm 
from 6 to 12 feet apart, Russian Olive from 5 to 10 feet apart, and Caragana from 3 to 5) 
feet apart are the outstanding varieties.
