Very good to see, especially that traditional hedgerow at the end. I'm trying to encourage more people to start growing a proper laid hedge, so I'll take all the examples I can.

Very cool. How old are the second example shrubs? I planted some two years ago that were 2-3' bare root and they are 8-10' now.

Is Red Osier the same as StreamCo? Great vid-appreciate seeing the various use cases. Would like to see same for other varieties you offer!

@@FarmingWithTrees awesome, thanks! Any chance an interview with your Iroquois forester friend will be recorded? You and he did a two week agroforestry class I attended years ago and I still think about that class and stuff I learned from you guys almost every day.
