Default what trees might grow in windswept garden, NW Scotland?


"Harry Davis" wrote in message

What trees or even largish bushes might I be able to grow in a treeless
windswept garden a mile from the Atlantic coast on the Isle of Lewis in NW
Scotland?

There's maybe 30cm of topsoil on top of peat, and the surrounding terrain
is all moorland with no trees, mostly heather, and the occasional
gorsebush.

Thanks!

Harry

Monteray Pines have a good reputation for coping in such places
