Bad schooling leading to poor aesthetics and lack of appreciation of the natural world I suppose 🙂

it would be good if barbed wire grew from cuttings

They need full sun or at least half. They'd struggle in a woodland setting due to excessive shading I think.

You don't get fuller sun than on a hedge.

I thought we were talking about a woodland setting. Specifically, a boundary within a woodland, subdividing it into smaller plots. But I may well have got that bit wrong.

We might well have been. Glossed over it. Details. For little people. I'm having a big ideas day.

I'm not a fan on unnecessary barbed wire, I've found a dead roe buck that probably died from an infected stomach gash that I think was probably due to barbed wire. 

 

In the two pieces of woodland I own I've not had problems with the public. The land around our house does suffer a bit from stray livestock as many farmers down here don't seem to believe in fencing. Personally I find it amusing to have a small heard of horned cattle including a bull, cows and calves in our woodland but not everyone does.

 

It will depend greatly on where the woodland is and what you want to do with it. I tend to like a more natural feel, so blackthorn, hawthorne or gorse along with a mix of bramble would be my choice to keep people out. If you want the woodland to look like a carpark or suburbia go with pyracantha etc.
