Absolutely love the old video! Perfect pace and Camera work to really see what he was doing.
I did a lot of research on Osage Orange and the thorns appeared to do more harm than good – some even puncturing tractor tires.
I settled on a mix of Washington Hawthorne and crabapple. I wanted the hedge to flower but also provide some thorns for deterrent. There is a planting article from Mother Earth News that shows the initial work. I didn’t follow those instructions and now my trees are fairly large but the hedge laying video makes it look like I could probably salvage them. Motivated to try now!
