While looking into this I saw a holy crap aerial shot of what the allies had to face when invading Normandy. It was said even tanks couldn't get through some of these hedgerows. [abmceducation.org]
I wish we had more here.

While this looks great at first glance , some potential problems include Home Owners Associations (HOA) , which require more formal arrangements , poison ivy , which invites itself into areas which grow wild , vines with thorns which tear at your own skin , and while some berries are great for humans , some of the wild ones , are poison to humans .

Good points - I had some poison ivy try to sneak into my shrubbery a couple of years ago. Coming from a state that loves its 6-8' fences, I like the idea of a softer border. I have a row of 7' variegated pittosporum shrubs and I love looking at them more than fences, as do all the little creatures who nest under them.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
