We are going to Re-hedge our poor sadly bare boundary fence and so I have been researching plant species. Most of the hedge will be hawthorn based but also looking to add a bit of diversity and hopefully some tasty berries!
Paddocks are used for horses and sheep but I’m finding it a nightmare to get definitive answers on weather some trees are poisonous or not!
I believe these are okay:
Hawthorn
Crab apple
Dog rose
Birch
Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia)
Hazel
Willow
Field maple (Acer campastre)
But seem to have conflicting information on:
Wild Cherry (prunus Avium)
Snowberry
Alder (Alnus glutinosa)
Holly
Can anyone help?
Other suggestions I might have missed also welcome!!
