A well placed fast growing windbreak can reduce the wind effect to 1/3 of the open space wind speed.
I also grow hybrid willow and hybrid poplars. They grow 6 to 8 feet a year and will make firewood in less than 8 years.
Sometime I will have to post some pictures of the difference in growth rates - white pine vs hybrid willows.
Thank you, that drawing really shows the help that trees can provide.
