J Garbo:
Thanks! I like the looks of that. Will put it on my mental list

And I do like the laid-over-locust system also.

Just wanted to put a query out to see if anyone had any suggestions which I haven't considered yet.

Eric Hanson:
Thanks! Osage orange is definitely on my list of potential plants.

J Davis:
Thanks! Plum does sound good. I think I have adequate sunlight in the spot in question. And I do appreciate hibiscus fo'sho.

Hello Permies!
I am in Western NC, zone 7a. I am seeking recommendations for shrubs/trees to use as a living hedge, something that would be an effective barrier against wayward critters (neighborhood dogs and such) while providing food/shelter for birds and pollinators.

In advance, thank you!
