I have over the past 11 years planted a windbreak of about 250 feet on the north hillside of my house . All are mulched with wood chips and or shreds. all are irrigated with soaker hoses. I have only lost a few, a couple of pretty small ponderosa pines dug from roadside in the hills . A couple of Abies Fraseri. And from the row of Juniperus Hillside Spire planted above the 20 or so flat type evergreens that i don't remember the name on the steeper bank back of the garage, a couple died, and from that experience I certainly agree with Guy that it is best to plant a variety.

I will post a few of my windbreak shrubs, and trees. Some are fruiting types for the birds.. The first one is of the steeper bank area. DonnaS
