The trees that make good wind breaks are in the center and right of the picture. They are White Pines and Norway Spruces. I like Norway Spruces best because they break the wind better and are a great shelter for birds. To add variety I also have Blue Spruces and Australian Pines. Even though they are messy, Weeping Willows just seem to belong with a water picture. I never thought much about Cotton Woods until I read the notes kept by Louis & Clark as they explored the Louisiana Purchase and talked about the grand Cotton Wood trees along the Missouri River. So I decided I wanted one on the pond. So I guess it's a trade off of what you want. But wind breaks are slowing winds from evaporating the water and trees are shading the sun from evaporation also. So trees are not a completely bad thing. Look what comes with trees.
