Edible Hedge Suggestions (forum)
3 responses
Lisa starts with ...
I live in the Mid Blue Mountains and have a stretch of about 15 metres (north facing) where I would like to plant a hedge with something Edible however it must be hardy and frost tolerant and have a maximum growth of 4-5 metres or be able to be kept that tall with trimming.
I did a search and some previous suggestions were Feijoa and Grumichama.
Does anyone else have some suggestions?

Hi Lisa
feijoas make an excelent fruiting hedge are easy to keep and fairly hardy. What altitude are you at and how cold does it get? I grew up in the north island of new zealand and there are heaps there. We had occasional frosts but no snow. I grow a feijoa in adelaide and it does real well.

Hi Lisa
May I ask, where did you get most of your Blueberry plants ?
You got so many varieties, beside Nelly Kellie I have never heard of any of the other ones .

John...Not sure of the altitude, I will have to check. We do get frosts and it has been known to have the occaisional snow ( I have only ever seen sleet).
Hi Ellen... I don't even have all of mine listed yet, I need to update MyEdibles page. We are huge Blueberry fans. I purchased a couple from Daleys, a couple from Diggers, 2 from Bunnings and the others from Emily HIll Farm- they post.
