FIG. 5. SINGLE ROW OF CUPRESSUS BENTHAMII. This shelter has been ruined through lack of attention. Note how bare it is at the base. The fence was erected too close to the trees and cattle have destroyed the lower branches. The fence should have been placed farther out and the ends of the side branches suppressed by slashing back. The trees should also have been topped. The taking of 4 ft. or 5 ft. off the top at this stage would improve considerably this single-row shelter.
