Hey folks!
I have been looking for a plant to use for a natural fence. Looking for a type to block view and be a barrier for critters both four and two legged.
I have been doing some reading and I am considering Osage orange.
I am going to need several hundred feet of this and I would like to get the plants as inexpensively as possible also.
My questions are:
#1 Will this tree thrive in zone 4 and in the sandy loam in my area?
#2 Will I need to buy whips or can these trees be grown from seed? (I have a small greenhouse to start seeds).
#3 How would I space these trees to use as a hedge?
Thanks in advance,
Brad
