I’ll let you know! I think if you want a food tree that might be better at blocking the wind I would try a Pinon tree. I have those on the list to get, just haven’t done it yet. I do know mulberry is doing pretty great out at the research center. My mulberry are too small for a personal comment as of yet. Just a few wind blocking options. I’d always start with caragana though. It’s my favorite wind blocker for our area. Grows without watering.
