Shelterbelt Trees

🌪️ THE REBEL SHELTERBELT LINEUP
Not your neighbour’s lineup.
Not your grandpa’s windbreak.
This is a curated hit list of trees built for the Alberta prairies—
hardy, proven, and way more interesting than the usual 5.
🔥 THE BACKBONE
Strength. Structure. Zero compromise.
These trees take the hit so everything else doesn’t have to.
- Maple — Amur, Tatarian, Manitoba, Silver
- Ash — Green, White
- Elm — American, Japanese
- Linden — Greenspire, Harvest Gold
👉 Reliable. Tough. Built to anchor the entire system.
🌲 THE EVERGREEN DEFENSE
Year-round protection. No gaps.
When winter hits and everything else drops… these don’t.
- Juniper — Moonglow
- Pine — Ponderosa, Swiss Stone, Mountain, Lodgepole, Eastern White
👉 This is your all-season shield.
⚡ THE FAST MOVERS
Quick cover. Immediate impact.
Need protection now? These get to work fast.
- Poplar — Prairie Sky, Tristis, Tower
- Willow — Golden, Silver, Laurel Leaf
- Caragana
👉 Speed + function = instant transformation.
🍁 THE BEAUTY LAYER
Because your shelterbelt shouldn’t be ugly.
This is where most people stop trying.
We don’t.
- Crabapple — multiple standout varieties
- Lilac — Japanese + shrub forms
- Mountain Ash
👉 Spring blooms. Fall color. Actual curb appeal.
🧬 THE WILD CARDS
Rare. Rugged. Underused.
These are the ones nobody thinks to plant—
and that’s exactly why you should.
- Russian Olive
- Ohio Buckeye
- Larch — American + Siberian
👉 Unique texture. Proven toughness. Serious character.
🛠️ BUILT DIFFERENT
Most shelterbelts are planted once… and regretted forever.
We help you layer this properly so it:
- Blocks wind
- Builds privacy
- Looks intentional
- And actually increases the value of your land
👉 Not just protection—presence.
📦 HOW TO GET THEM
These aren’t sitting in a yard waiting around.
We bring them in on demand.
- #5 → #15 pots
- Basketed trees available
- Planting available
👉 Want a shelterbelt that actually stands out?
Reach out and we’ll build it with you.

Our shelterbelt trees are tried, tested and true in Alberta but do require watering when the soil dries out for the first couple of summers and when there is drought in subsequent summers.
