Ok – thanks for the feed back and sorry for the delay in keeping my inquiry in the discussion.
I have finally managed to take a few photos – the last being the distance of about 35m from my southern Melanoxylon tree windbreak which was planted by the previous owners many years ago to my new orchard.
Coffee rock outcrops but deep clay underneath so quite wet feet in the winter and hard in the summer. It drains reasonably well through an underground stream which surfaces well down the paddock but my Avocados have been complaining of too much damp for sure.
Guessing but the Melanoxylons have to be 25m plus and I do have room to plant smaller hedge species just outside the understory toward the orchard and bring my firebreak in as well.

Thanks for your initial contact Rebecca – I have had a bit of trouble negotiating this site – I wonder if you can see my recent post and photos directly below your post?

Great to hear from you Charles – I will take some photos today and post them to give you an idea of my problem.
