Trees and shrubs are planted around my house in such a way as to provide shade in the summer and shelter from the wind. | • Deciduous (leaf-shedding) trees and shrubs on the south side shade during the summer and allow sun through the winter. • Trees and shrubs can provide shelter from cold winds when strategically planted. |
