Some private security firms (think of the companies who supplement the secret service) recommend trifoliate orange grown into a hedge. It grows well in Hawaii. The dense shrub has sharp, two-inch thorns that make it impossible to cross over, or through the hedge. Once established the dense hedge is capable of stopping a sedan moving moderately fast. It is the true definition of a "living fence".
Although the fruit of trifoliate orange is barely edible, it accepts grafts from other citrus species readily making the living fence functional in many ways.
Cultivation
The cultivar "Flying Dragon" is dwarfed in size and has highly twisted, contorted stems. It makes an excellent barrier hedge due to its density and strong curved thorns. Such a hedge had been grown for over 50 years at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, and is highly student-proof.[6] The plant is also highly deer resistant.[7]
