Train noise block
Hi --
I'm looking for recommendations for planting an evergreen noise block at the back of my daughter's property. She and her husband bought a house in NJ Zone 6 last year. There is a train that runs in back of their property, during the 'green' season the noise is minimal from the passing trains. But during the winter 'brown' season the noise is pronounced. I thought a break of evergreen trees/shrubs planted on their property line (or possibly even encroaching on the RR right-of-way buffer land) would help. I've picked out some from a mail-order catalogue: Colorado Blue Spruce -- Picea pungens glauca Thuja "Green Giant" -- American Arborvitae -- Thuja occidentalis 'American' Russian Olive -- Elaeagnus angustifolia Canadian Hemlock -- Douglas Fir -- Pseudotsuga taxifola Siberian Elm -- Christmas Holly -- Ilex Opaca hybrids Are there any in the above list that you would recommend? or stay away from? Any that will fill in faster than others? Should I be leary of the ones with no Latin name? Thanks in Advance, NJ/Z6 |
