How do purple smoke trees tolerate wind?
I live in a very windy area and just got a new purple smoke tree. Our house gets fierce winds on the south side, but is pretty well protected on the north. Is this tree able to withstand winds or should I plant it on the north? *if anyone has any ideas of what a good tree would be for a wind break in zones 4-5, I'd appreciate any*

If you want a nice tree, plant it on a side the doesn't get that much wind. I planted one years ago, near a wall protected from the wind and it's doing fine. If you don't prune it, it will become a large bush.

Well, they can be weak wooded, but they do better than others.....so moderate.
Remember wind can also pit or shred leaves. Smoke tree foliage is moderte-small and would show damage less than say a sycamore, maple or other large leaf plant.
When the tree is in "smoke" it is stunning if viewed with the late afternoon sun behind it.
