My favorite trees are.

Scotch Pine, Great fast grower and quick wind break.
Blue spruce, Nice colour and good wind break.
And the Colorado fir, Quick grower like the pine with blue needles.

It all takes time and I like the fast growers. It helps to spend the big dollars on the potted hardwoods $75-$125 each if you want any shade out of them in your life time.

Planting wips really takes time and culturing. Well done and I commend the work it takes.

Cheers Don.
