Default trees and brushes which resist chemicals

Hi there

November approaches and we have decided where to put new trees and
brushes along our hedges in the north-west and north-east of our
terrain.

These hedges mark the borderline between the past and the future, death
and life, chemical farming and my kind of gardening.

The brushes which survived until now are hollies (which we like very
much) and whin (which we tolerate). The rest is in poor condition or
dead.

My main worry are the high trees that should grow here and there in the
hedge, but do not, currently. I will give order to some young oaks to
join the frontier but do not feel good about that.

Have you any experience to share on the subject? I know, it would be
an advantage, if I knew the kind of filth that my dearest neighbour is
using in such abundance that the hedges die, but the latest intelligence
shows these farmers do no longer decide themselves about the moment to
spread their Agent Orange, nor “flavour” or quantiteis.

I need the toughest plants that I can get.

TY,

Michael
