Live fences are lines of trees or shrubs planted on farm or field boundaries that provide protection against cattle and wildlife, act as windbreaks, enrich the soil, provide bee forage, provide shade, and control dust.

Various species have been tested to discover their suitability for use as biofencing plants; nine thorny species have been selected and demonstrated.
