Trees For Windbreaks On Swan Coastal Plain Farms, Leon English, Ken Angell, Metropolitan District Office, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia

Bulletins 4000 -

Strong easterly and south-westerly winds are a feature of the Swan Coastal Plain and we receive frequent inquiries about which tree species are suitable for planting as windbreaks. When selecting trees for windbreaks you must match the species to the various soil types which occur along the Coastal Plain. The mature height of the tree is also an important consideration in good windbreak design. This Bulletin lists species which are suitable for windbreaks in descending order of mature height and indicates the soil type(s) on which they should be planted.
