[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 49835, member: 340"] First off, thank you for doing this. It’s a huge investment, but every tree helps. I think you want to start with a bush of some sort on the north side to catch most of the snow. Then two rows of BHS offset will block the wind and hide your deer. A row of BHS on the inside will also help your deer feel hidden and keep them in there when everything else thins out. If you’re set on 9 rows, I would do something like this: 1. Lilac or Dogwood 2. Black Hills Spruce 3. Black Hills Spruce – Offset with the first row of BHS 4. Male Cottonwood (seedless) 5. chokecherry and plum (alternating) 6. Bur Oak 7. Apricot 8. American Linden 9. Black Hills Spruce As was mentioned previously, you’ll want to put guards around all of the deciduous trees if possible. I only have a fraction of the trees you’re talking about and I’ve lost a few good ones to rubs. [/QUOTE]
