I planted evergreens as a wind break and then cut them down when they are nice size for Christmas trees. You could plant deador cedars as a wind break, they make a nice Christmas tree. They are not very cold tolerant. Just my 2 cents
@ Dia I hear ya. They are predicting snow for today in NJ. I'm hoping spring comes soon too. I think you live in a prettier state though. I've vacationed there twice. I'm trying a hoop house this year to extend my season.
