Howdy all,

I am looking to screen some areas and looking for ideas on plants for an evergreen hedge.

I am in Texas, zone 8a. If it could be edible, all the better.

Anything that grows over 8 feet or so should do the trick. The areas get full sun.

I am still learning about hedges and figured this would be a good place to ask for some ideas.

Thanks all!

Mike

I use silver berry. Technically edible. Citrus if zone permits ( poncirate does sometimes lose leaves).
