Nonsense! On my smallholding I had freestanding hedges. Thye location
was on a ridge, and there was no higher land than my elevation between
me and the Urals.


I do not doubt that at all but I doubt that they were competing at birth
with a fence of this magnitude.
Now if the fence could be replaced with a light permeable stock type fence
then things would be far more possible.
