C. Marritt The number of years to grow a windbreak may be reduced in several ways. 1— The trees may be spaced 5 to 6 feet apart if several rows are planted, while spruce or pine in a single row may be placed opposite the spaces in the first row. The closer spacing and the staggering of the trees reduce considerably the period required for the trees to grow together. 2— Cultivation increases the yearly growth of small trees. 3— Plant the trees in the windbreak at once rather than placing them in a nursery for a few years and then planting them in the windbreak as the growth is retarded for several years following transplanting. 4— A fast growing species such as Scotch pine, red pine, soft maple, black locust or Carolina poplar, may be planted in centre rows between the more slow growing spruce and cedar. 5— It is possible in many sections to secure white and red cedar 3 to 5 in height, that are growing in open ! pasture fields.

The cedar is a slowing growing tree com­ pared to spruce and pine and it should not be planted unless larger trees are available as the growth is often disappointing with trees 12 feet to 15 feet in height. White Spruce, Norway spruce, white cedar and red cedar are quite suitable for single row windbreaks. Pine are not recommended to be used in single rows as their foliage is quite open and they do not retain live branches to the ground as well as cedar and spruce.
