I'm just reading your mind! See, you do have a good eye - I've been trying to tell you that. I can see that a horse chestnut might not want to be a shrub. Thanks for catching that. Here's a picture of one in the fall in our neighborhood in front of a California Live Oak. How big are those Malus and what color are they? I have three weeping ones and a pretty large one outside Marty's office. I'm afraid that it's going to be too big and make his study dark though. I might just have to move it.

Glad that your husband likes the idea - sorry you'll have to move some bricks. There is an excellent book for planning wind breaks somewhere here. I'll find it.
