I live in the Fens which is VERY windy at times due to the lack of trees and being VERY flat! I have a north facing garden that is like a desert (it's clay!) in the summer and a soggy wind tunnel in the winter months. I have a small Acer that is now looking like it was put in an incinerator this summer, nowhere was safe for it!
So... I need some ideas for trees and shrubs for my garden. Please help!

Thanks :-D
