There's narrow strips of woodland in the valleys in Arkengarthdale up to
about 350m, but he's higher than that. A shelter belt of trees is going
to be a challenge.

If he even exists, he's shown no interest in any follow up.


Gorse makes a fantastic shelterbelt and so does hawthorn. They can
both be clipped really hard into gale-defying mounds.

And if you use the double form of Gorse then there is no chance of it
seeding itself everywhere
