I was curious is anyone has kept a shorter waist height or so nanking cherry living fence? What was the frequency of the pruning to maintain that ?

Thank you

I have not tried to make a living fence per say, but I do have a nanking cherry that now requires fencing being deer nibbled it down to the ground.

I don't know what your critter pressure is like, but that might be a first hurdle to overcome in the quest for an edible hedge.

interesting! Yeah I added sun chokes in places to try to give them something in hopes they would bypass other stuff. It's possible that some form of protection would be needed.
 
They weren't very bright, but they were very, very big. Ad contrast:
