Trees for Windbreaks and Screens

Over the years of designing many visual screens and windbreaks we adopted the formula of mixing shade and flowering trees with groupings of evergreens.  The effect is pleasing and there is less chance of loosing the screening effect when one or a few trees succumb to an insect or disease problem.  Since this is the windbreak list look at other sections for other shade or flowering tree ideas.  Have fun.
