Wax Myrtle windbreak

Wax Myrtle (Myrica californica) is the native shrub I'm using as a windbreak in the northwest corner.  It is a nitrogen fixer, growing in poor soils like the sand I have. I could have used more shore pine but I think this looks better. I'm hoping that 6 foot spacing is about right to block the wind that gets through the shore pine behind it.
