One of my brothers lives in Pascagoula Mississippi.
He's looking for a good specie to plant as a tough hedge.
He lives 3 or 4 blocks in from the Gulf water.
Looking to make a "wall" of strong hedge. One that may be able to stop debris from washing in during storm water surg.
He would like the mature height to be 8 to 15 feet.
Thorns will be pretty good also, to stop kids from running through them. He's got 3 kids.
He said the yard stays a little wet.
I'm don't know what grows well in Mississippi.
I thought pyracantha (firethorn) would be a good strong thorny hedge.
I thought maybe there would be a variety of hawthorn tree that might work also.
He talked to two nurseries down there, said they don't sell pyracantha anymore, people didn't like the thorns.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
