How about some variety of bamboo? It makes a lovely noise in the wind and you could use it to shield other plants. I believe it is quite hardy over winter,too.

Shame on you. Report It

Reply:Any plants that bend in the wind eg corkscrew willow very attractive plant. Any low-growing plants such as alpines although they don't like wet conditions. You don't say if it's wet or dry, as this can make a big difference. I love fuschias and they do well in windy / wet. (see Ireland!) You can protect palms etc from wind in winter using horticultural fleece. I also grow a climbing hydrangea (self clinging), and passionflower, honeysuckles. Hollies also do well in windy conditions.

Reply:1st talk to locals,get native plants, wisteria is a plant that will takeover whatever it grows on, and bamboo is a good place for snakes, mice, and alot of bugs. planting trees works as a wind break and adds value to your home

Reply:if you are going to plant a hedge make sure it is a good one some of the laylandii trees grow fast but before you can blink they have grown far to tall and continually need cutting,a beech hedge is good or purple beech,maple(acer campestre) or common laurel pop to your local garden centre and ask their opinion
