Hi,
I would like to plant a small hedge to enclose an area of my garden that has 6 fruit trees and my (soon to be) chickens. I have a wire mesh fence at the moment, but it looks a bit nasty. My plan is to plant a smallish hedge 3 or 4 foot high and 1 foot deep nest to the mesh to hide it.
Now to my question. I have seen Sloe (blackthorn?) plants for hedges but my experience of sloe bushes in the wild is that they are big. Can you keep a sloe hedge like a privet hedge? My reason for wanting sloes is that I like sloe gin
Alternatively are there any other plants I could plant that could give edible fruits or berries?
Thanks in advance.
John
