Default Decorative grass privacy fence.

What considerations are there to using decorative grass as a privacy
fence? We are looking at a bit of property that gets flooded annually. A
normal privacy fence would probably be damaged during the flood. I figure
that a line of this very tall dense grass, while damaged, could just grow
back every year.



It occurred to me that the fence need not be opaque, it just has to break up
the view of the neighbors. Then I thought, why not a fence that produces a
fruit? Blackberries or raspberries might be nice. How far from the
property line would they need to be planted? Any thoughts?
