Well that's what my gardening books call it, a cross between a fence
and a hedge.

I want a boundary between my open plan front garden and my private
rear garden however I do'nt want it to put up a solid fence and make
the place look like a fortress.

My gardening book suggest a trellis covered with Ivy .
remember
that a wooden fence will eventually rot and possibly collapse,

It will. I had a fedge made of trellis, various honeysuckles, ivy and
pyracantha. The trellis was weak after about eight years and large sections
were brought down by the wind two years ago. It was heart-breaking because
the fedge was always dense and full of flowers and fruits.

It has been replaced by willow and twisted hazel, but for the life of me I
can't find the address of the company that supplied the plants. (They do
willow fedge, pergolas, wigwams, pickets - all living,) I bought them after
reading an article in one of the weekend colour supplements.
