POPLAR AND ELAEAGNUS WINDBREAK.
In several articles on shelter-belts and hedges that have appeared in the Journal mention has been made of the excellent windbreak formed by a combination of the Lombardy poplar and elaeagnus. A good example of this combination, at the Central Development Farm, Weraroa, is shown in the accompanying photograph. ■ There are two rows of poplars, the rows 5 ft. apart, with trees 2 ft. 6 in. apart in the rows. The elaeagnus, planted at the same time as the poplars, is in the centre of the space between the two rows of poplars, the plants being 3 ft. apart. The poplars have been topped, but the elaeagnus has not at any time been trimmed. .
