QuestionI need to plant two windbreaks. One will run directly alongside an established asphalt driveway and will sit between my home and a neighbors. The most narrow point between the two properties is approximately 2 feet. I would like to plant something that will grow to about 15 feet. Can you recommend anything that might slow wind w/o causing root damage to the drive or impeding on the neighbors land?
I also need to plant a much higher break across the street in an area running directly parallel with an electric pasture fence. Any advice would be appreciated.
AnswerE,
To be honest, 2 feet is not a lot of space for the plants, but, I think that you would be able to get away with some espaliered pyrocantha as a windbreak between the drive way and the neighbors land.
Across the street, you could plant Arborvitae, Hemlock, Cedars or White Pines.
Good luck,
