I’m planning out my site and i’ve been debating on what to do for hedging. I’ve got a backup option for a hedge that is good for wild birds and fits my needs, but it doesn’t provide anything edible. I was hoping to perhaps get something that suits my needs and also provides edible produce.

I’ve got a dog that likes to escape (but is stopped by basic fencing), planning to get a small amount of poultry, and I live somewhere with a lot of footfall, so I want something that provides some privacy.

The basic requirements would be that it is thorny or grows so densely it doesn’t need thorns to keep animals in, and grows to be at least 7 feet tall.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
