One thing that my friend told me was that when he planted a shelter belt of pine trees along the road that bordered his property was that he wished he'd planted only spruce along the road.
He planted mostly White Pine, as in your drawing, and he said that the road salt would make the White Pines yellow-out and die, but the Spruce, blue and white, grew much better.
