Oh yes, beautiful hedges in the UK as well. Very helpful and interesting information (historian who calculated a method for working out the âge of a hedge by how many new trees colonised the hedge.) Merci David.

Not certain all of the recommended plants are available or suitable for the climate you're in but perhaps this will give an idea of how they used mixed species to create a livestock-proof fence. http://www.teagasc.ie/environment/Publications/stockproofhedge.establishment.factsheet.pdf
