A combination of Spanish Broom and Tree Lupin make an excellent local
windbreak (scented).

Thanks for the tip.

Mind you, our house is 200m high on a mountain and open to the South, East
and West - in fact we can see across Lough Foyle from the Donegal
mountains and the mouth of the Roe to the Sperrins. Some of the winds we
get - particularly from the West - are /very/ severe.

I tend to plant only those trees that I know will grow up here because
I've seen them elsewhere. Even the oak tree I planted three years ago
seems to be dying. Ash, larch and spruce on the other hand seem to be
doing very well.
