A) What variety are these five evergreen trees in foreground of pictures [not the blue one in the background behind the fence]? B) They were transplanted one year ago and are unprotected from frequent straight-line winds at this location high on a hill. The tree shown with blue tether had uprooted, blown down during a wind storm; then, the fallen tree was replanted several weeks later. The trees totter in the wind so much that the sod covered ground visibly shifts, noticed especially on the one with a white tether crossing the path. Many dead branches at bases have been removed as shown on the two trees in the south yard close to the home. One tree is planted in the back yard next to several GV and MH posts; it has many dead branches and weed growing about half way up into the tree. Due to the huge size of transplants in a high wind area, I think all or some of these evergreens are planted too close to utilities and home. In the spaces shown where you think some of these should be removed, do you have a recommendation regarding replacement shrub? C) Are there potential trimming or other problems (in addition to high-wind location) to be aware of? More photos sent in a separate form.
