PRINTABLE PDF FILE

DESCRIPTION

Security doesn't have to be unattractive. Crisp's Living Fence™ is an aesthetically pleasing and effective security hedge that creates a highly effective barrier to humans and animals. The hardy shrubs are deceptively beautiful and heavily armed with 3 - 5 inch stout thorns which are camouflaged by attractive foliage. In its mature state the Living Fence™ is capable of stopping vehicles. The plants grow rapidly and can quickly create an effective barrier. Normal growth rate is 18 to 24 inches annually, and mature plants can reach heights of 16 to 20 feet, and widths of 6 to 9 feet.

APPLICATIONS

The Living Fence™ is The solution for security problems where human and animal intrusion is to be deterred while avoiding a fortified or high security image. The Living FenceTM has been featured in dozens of international publications and has been installed in a wide range of situations including:
• Federal agencies
• International airports, runways, and
• Strategic military bases
• Private sector installations
• The Living Fence™ is remarkably hearty, being tolerant of extreme weather conditions and resistant to diseases and insects. Various sizes of plants are available to meet a variety of needs.

INSTALLATION

To establish your Living Fence™ security system, the shrubs are planted in dense multi-row patterns. If existing fences are in place, they may be left as an additional layer to enhance your perimeter security or until the plants reach adequate heights for a stand-alone system. Crisp technical staff evaluates your planting conditions and landscape, recommends soil treatment and land preparation, then provides you with complete written instructions for care. The Living Fence™ is tolerant to tropical wet soils as well as dry zones.

ATTRACTIVE YET EFFECTIVE SECURITY

The plant's beauty is enhanced by beautiful blossoms in the Spring and aromatic fruit in the Fall. Strategic pruning will alter growth patterns to suit specific needs and surroundings.
While the Living Fence™ will enhance the landscape as a beautiful hedge, it is a truly effective security fence. Yet it's cost is approximately 1/5 of a chain link fence and unlike chain link, the Living Fence™ doesn't require frequent replacement.
