Edible hedges are living boundaries or windbreaks composed of plants that produce edible yields. Unlike traditional hedges grown purely for privacy or demarcation, edible hedges offer fruits, berries, nuts, leaves, or flowers that can be harvested. Examples suitable for the UK include native plants like hawthorn, blackthorn, elderflower, and hazel, as well as cultivated varieties like jostaberries, autumn fruiting raspberries, and sloe. They also provide habitat for wildlife and act as windbreaks.
