This row of trees at the Central Experimental Farm Arboreturm in Ottawa, planted in 1895 and known as the windbreak, is one of my favorite spots in the Arboretum. I always enjoy looking at these trees whenever I make it this far in the Arboretum. One reason why I like the windbreak is because it is made up of Ponderosa Pines, which are not found in the wild in this part of Canada. They are a west coast species and being among them feels like I've taken a step into British Columbia.
