Cp,Unfortunately my piece of land is on a mountainous slope and we have 2 strong prevailing winds here and they blow from opposite sides, the strongest one blows up the slope, but that thought is under investigation for a long term solution like a hedge windbreak.

Do you have guys have Alnus (genus) in South Africa? , the best for windbreaks, upright fast growing trees, non invasive root system
LndRclvr, I try only allow indigenous plants, proteas and fynbos to grow on my property as that is what grows wild here. I have made some exceptions like my olive trees, mini citrus orchard but I'm quite stricked as I want all the indigenous animals to stay on my property and they will move if I start planting alien trees, but thanks for the thought.
Good shout you deffo don't want Alnus then as they spread like hell from seed
I'm with you buddy. My garden is all made up of woody perennials and other plants that grow locally, I propagated them all my self. Also good because I know they will thrive on my garden
