Free fence in the country from berry bushes (delicious hedge - options)
In the country or in a private house, many people choose not a solid, solid fence, but a hedge. It can replace (in whole or in part) a conventional fence. At the same time, it creates comfort, revives the site.
Recently, more and more people are interested in this issue. We have selected the best shrubs for growing walls (fence).
Sea buckthorn
The most unpretentious shrub with a harvest of useful and aromatic berries. Such a hedge is obtained from thorny needles, leaves and berries. The height of the hedge will be from 1.5 meters. Such a fence will reliably protect against uninvited guests and animals.
To have berries, you need to plant a number of female and male plants. The difference between them is that male kidneys are much larger.
A similar fence can be grown from rose hips, hawthorns or barberries. The barberry has a dense crown and thorny thorns. Hawthorn is not afraid of frost and looks beautiful.
Yoshta
A hybrid of gooseberries and all familiar currants. Shrub grows up to 2 m in height. Lots of sweet berries. The plant tolerates cold well and is not whimsical to watering and bait. No sharp thorns like gooseberries. The taste is something in between, a bit like currants and gooseberries. From one yoshta bush, it turns out to collect from 2-8 liters of berries.
Blueberry
Delicious and healthy berry. The shrub can serve as a hedge.
There is a blueberry variety Pink Blueberry. Blueberries with pink fruits. Harvested from July to September. The height of the fence will be 1.8-2 m. The width of the fence can be from 1.2-1.6 m. One bush will bring 5 kg. berries. Pink blueberries are more beneficial than regular dark blue ones.
Actinidia
In Siberia, this plant is ideal. Feels good in a shaded area. But he doesn't like full shadows.
In July, the leaves of actinidia change their color like a chameleon. The leaves turn pink or white. The plant needs support. So it quickly increases its height several times. Trellis or netting may work. Liana is familiar to some with juicy fruits. The fruit tastes a lot like kiwi but tastes much better. This plant can perfectly tolerate our Siberian frosts at -40 degrees.
The crop can be harvested in August. The most popular types of anemones for our country are Kolomikta (the most winter-hardy) or Arguta.
