    Need a new fruit tree

    Cherries, although nice, can be difficult to get to pick the fruit. Unless you're prepared to cover them the birds will eat them before they have ripened.

    Shrubby honeysuckle (lonicera nitida). It's a classic hedging plant, looks a bit tidier than box or privet IMO, and whilst the flowers are tiny they do smell nice.
