I know this sounds bizarre, but I have an inconsiderate neigbor who
plows snow into the side of my house with his snowblower. After
debating options and discussing for him to stop to no avail, we
decided that our only option is to build a wall of trees on our
property line border firm enough and high enough to block this.

I need suggestions on what you can recommend that is a strong sturdy
(and inexpensive) tree that I can plant a row of to build a wall to
block the snow. The tree will need to withstand a 14hp snowblower
hitting the trunks from about 5 to 10 feet away and not break.

The tree(s) will sit in direct full sun and planted in clay like soil
in the Northeast United States. I need a tree that will be ready to
withstand this within a year of being planted. The tree(s) will need
to be at least 8 - 10 feet in height and preferebly wide trunk body to
start. Again I'm looking for inexpensive/strong/sturdy, dont need good
looking either.

Thanks for any help your expertise can provide.....

What's wrong with shrubs?
I would think shrubs could take a beating better than trees.

Was it Edgar Allen Poe that stated "Good fences make good neighbors"?
