about to move to an acre (which feels luxurious) and hoping to do some small scale food forestry in the "currently all grass" front yard. i'm feeling concerned about planting fruit/nut trees too close to the road (only 35 mph but a popular state highway, so decently frequented). recommendations for plants to form a thicket or hedge that may also detoxify or interrupt toxic runoff? in piedmont NC, i'm sure it's quite heavy clay. no insight on water/runoff patterns yet as i don't live there yet and am just in early pie in the sky phase!
