I hope this isn't considered "off-topic"....
We recently bought a house in rural Carroll County with about 3 acres of mostly maintained lawn with trees here and there. Our goal is to set aside about half the acerage for a lawn and the other half a bird sanctuary.
One border of the lawn is in serious need of a wind break and we're curious what fast growing conifer would be recommended that is also bird friendly? I like the look and appeal of the Norway Spruce, especially since it attracts winter finches. Does anyone have any pros and cons for this evergreen? I am open to any and all suggestions/recommendations.
Thanks in advance!
