Hedges serve variety of purposes as live fences - Norwalk News - The Hour - Norwalk's Newspaper: "Hedges are practical, with tree and shrub barriers tending to outlast fences, said Michael Kuhns, an extension forester with Utah State University at Logan. They also act as windbreaks and protected spaces where animals, songbirds, game birds and pollinators shelter.
'You can use these barriers, especially the taller ones, to create microclimates,' Kuhns said. 'Certain fruits and garden vegetables are pollinated better where the wind isn't blowing, increasing production. Fruit quality is enhanced, too, because there's less 'rub'.'"
