thank you Sally, your message is very helpful.
I just had 16, 5gal, shrubs planted. I am a volunteer puppy raiser for a service organizatio, mostly labs, and have onethat I adopted. He will eat anything.
I put up the hedge to hide the wire fence that I put up to keep him from the garden, where last year he ate all flowers/vege he could find. Needless to say, my garden failed last year.
I had also read that Shamrock Inkberry are only female, but I don't understand how they pollinate. I am trying to be super cautious, don't want sick puppies.
The hedge was just planted. I spoke with the nursery and they said it could be removed since it is winter here and they are dormant and roots haven't grown into soil. It will be expensive and they didn't have any good alternative.
Based you what you have said, I think I will take a chance and keep them and pray they don't make berries. I guess I can start picking flowers if they do.
thank you very much for your help
