Tree for windy location

QuestionsTree for windy location
Clare O'Reilly Staff asked 13 years ago

We would like some advice on choosing a suitable small tree for a windy front garden between N11 and Redcross, Co. Wicklow. At present we have an Acer Rufinerve planted on the site. It is not thriving as the wind is breaking the young branches and tearing off the leaves. It never gets a chance to show any autumn colour. Our soil is neutral and good.
