I’m planting trees (initially a shelter belt) around a proposed new house.The site is less than 1 mile from the Atlantic, prevailing W or SW winds, worst winds from E during March.My soil is fairly alkali, well-drained as it was in dairy pasture for ~ 30 years.Advised by local gardener (> 30 years local experience) that an Indian Cedar wouldn’t stand a chance here.
