| What is the best tree to create a wind break for the house and yard? I was thinking a kind of pine tree (one deer do not eat) I appreciate your advice. Thank you. |
| According to the University of Wyoming, the following trees are best for windbreaks: Colorado Blue Spruce; Grows tall; grows in moist soils but will grow on drier sites if watered to establishment. Ponderosa Pine; Tall; grows in most soils of low pH except heavy clay, one of the better windbreak trees. Rocky Mountain Juniper; Tall; hardy drought tolerant native, best used for windbreaks or screens. Aspen; Tall; grayish white bark, turns yellow in the fall, usually planted in clumps, requires plentiful moisture. All should be safe from deer. |
