reduce wind in the winter.
Another way to reduce energy consumption
with trees and shrubs is to provide shade for
portion of a split system air conditioner. A
study by the American Refrigeration Institute
shows that shading over these air conditioners
can reduce the temperature inside the home as
much as 3 degrees F. However, keep in mind
that you shouldn’t obstruct the air flow of the
compressor.
The temperature a few inches above turf and
other groundcover plants is frequently 12 degrees
to 15 degrees F. lower than above asphalt or
concrete surfaces. By using turf and groundcover
plants between your home and a paved area such
as the driveway and sidewalk can make that
evening party a lot more comfortable this summer.
If you would like to have some written informa-
tion on this, just call our office for "Planning
the Home Landscape” and “Landscaping for
Energy Conservation.” We will be glad to send
it to you. Also, I edit a Horticulture Newsletter
which we send out 6 times a year. This news-
letter has the yearly schedule of Extension meet-
ings and I include some timely horticulture tips
for the particular month that it comes out. If
you would like for us to put you on the mail-
ing list for our newsletter, call us at 566-3607 or
Metro 434-1990. Our address is Denton Agricul-
tural Extension Service, Courthouse Annex,

Many people landscape their home for esthetic
purposes and they certainly should. However, a
well planned landscape will also be functional.
One of the ways to have a functional landscape
is to place your plants in a location which will
reduce your heating and cooling bills.
Deciduous trees planted on the south and west
side of your home will shade the houses during
the summer and reduce the inside temperature
of your home as much as 10 degrees F. As
many of you know, the sun is always in the
south horizon. Therefore, plant your trees close
enough to the house to maximize the shade on
the south and west sides. However, don’t plant
the trees too close because the roots can crack
the foundation of your home! A good rule of .
thumb for distance is to plant small trees such
as peach and pear trees no closer than 10 feet
from the house, and plant large trees such as
oaks and mulberry no closer than 25 feet from
the house. Deciduous trees are also great in the
winter because they lose their leaves and allow
those warm sun rays to soak into the house.
Evergreen trees should be planted on the north
to northwest side of the house. Since the sun is
in the low south horizon in the winter, they
never shade the house. They are useful in block-
ing that cold north wind. Research has shown
that a home that is surrounded by slow moving
air uses 23 per cent less energy in heating the
home than a home constantly weathered by high
winds. Evergreen bushes planted on the north
side of the home is another excellent way to
