What is your recommendation for a 5 row screen or windbreak?
*I planted a couple of these up in Otter Tail County, MN....Spruce, Spruce, Pine, Red Oak, and Plum/Chokecherry/crab....so far it looking good.

I saw sand cherry is on the list...I like that shrub, although I only have a few planted. Should have planted more in the past.

I don't have any sandcherry here. I had a bunch on my old place. They grew and produced fruit quickly.

When planning, remember the purpose. Crabapple, oaks, fruiting shrubs might feed and hold deer. Do you want deer hanging around this screen?

In this area it’s not a big deal .Red Oaks will take 20 years. I want the leaves to stay on the tree as long as possible !! As far as plum or chokecherry as long as it’s not near a road.

What is your recommendation for a 5 row screen or windbreak? The federals use Cat. The state uses Bayer.

As much as it pains me to say...ironwood holds its leaves well into winter. At least those in full sun do. When they're understory trees not so much (maybe 50/50).

Is this going to be a road screen or more for wildlife?
