[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Careful with the cypress. They have shallow root systems and aren't that strong. We put them in when we moved in, as a screen for next door. After they'd grown in and the screen was great, two of them bought it in snowstorms. (One snapped, one just fell over uprooted.) Had to cut them down and start over. Now I'm just going to put a shed up there as a screen. [/quote] You need to take the snow off of them when it happens. [/quote] Even that doesn't really help. We had a row of Leyland cypress. Neighbor's tree fell over in a storm and hit one of ours - our row went down like dominos. The shallow root system is its downfall, and you'll never really know when they'll go. The previous owners had planted them and they'd lasted more than two decades until that storm. Until that point, they'd been great as a privacy screen. [/quote]
