What are some good edible hedgerows or fence crops? I’m in 7B, Texas.

Blueberries make a nice hedge, and there are so many varieties these days that you should be able to find the one that is perfect for your area. They have developed a hazelnut that is a shrub. Fig trees also make a nice, dense barrier all the way to the ground.

If you can put a sturdy top rail across some fence, muscadines would do well and you can make some kickin' jelly, syrup, juice and/or wine with those. You could train some blackberries or raspberries to a fence as well. We have several fence lines covered in blackberries because the birds have deposited them there.
