Roots and wind shelter

To create a shelterbelt it's important to chose the right trees. Trees that will create the shelterbelt above ground, but also trees that will be hard enough to stand the hard winds.

Depending on the type of roots that the tree has, it will be more or less anchored. The deepest the root the most anchored will be. The shallowest the roots the easiest it is for the wind to pull the tree out.







The spruces are not good for shelterbelts. They will be blown by the wind if they do not have shelter from other trees, as their roots are very shallow.
