Natural garden with hedge instead of fence

A tree alone never bears fruit; within 10-20 meters the same one should be found again.

A tree alone never bears fruit; within 10-20 meters there should be the same kind again.

That applies to the apple tree, yes!
And then the varieties must be appropriate as well.
But this thread does not belong only to the apple trees.

Trees are great, my most beautiful childhood memory is the branches knocking against my window of a.. well, no idea what, but it was a deciduous tree.

I would also like to have a really nice, big deciduous tree in the garden. However, I probably wouldn't live to see the full size of an oak/chestnut/beech/alder/linden anyway, and it would overshadow the solar panels on the roof.
So I content myself with the maple, the lilac, and eventually the apple as well as the 3 serviceberries (one of them in front of the house).

Moment: if you count lilac as a tree, we even already have one standing.

Well, okay, lilac is a large shrub that can grow as big as a tree. Currently here it is clearly still a shrub, let's see how it develops.

Very nice approach! I like it a lot. We have 60m to the footpath next to our property. 20m of that with privet hedge owned by the city (unfortunately typically trimmed), another 15m of flowering hedge with large shrubs and a small beech tree. These are only trimmed a little towards the footpath. After that, on the city side there is a strip of lawn and on our side the privacy screen is continued by about 10-15m of lilac hedge and elderberry (up to 7m high) and a still quite young flowering hedge (forsythia, weigela, privet, smoke bush, summer lilac, buttercup, etc.) all the way to the front. A dream for birds and insects, and there is always something blooming from March to November.

And in the front garden I have a single privet that I once received as a gift and it actually blooms quite nicely in white.

Show me a picture at the end of summer of how it has developed with you!
