Here is my problem with wind.........I am standing face due north taking this picture...........the house faces due south. The winds blow from the east and southeast. So I would need to plant something all the way from the storage building to the right at the back of this picture.........down the fence line where cattle are.........and then from east to west about 200 feet......that means I need to plant a Vitex tree every 10 feet (for a total of 300 to 350 feet) or nothing would do any good..

Or..........a combination of Vitex letting them be giant shrubs and then using the oleanders on the south side of the mesquite trees where I am standing.

We are in extreme drought conditions this year, but we did get 2 inches of rain last week. (our first measurable rain this year). That is why everything is brown.........
