Living Fences

This is quite a common site here in Costa Rica. It is a really smart idea actually, just plant your trees close enough and voila you have a fence. This one is surrounding a coffee field so no need for wire between. Others we have seen are using plants not as bushy and the trunks are used for fence poles and barb wire is strung and attached to the tree. These are more for keeping cattle, horses and other animals in.
