English term or phrase: fence made out of trees
元文："Fencing linkage can be made from evergreen trees/bushes or out of masonry block."

と言うことですので、
「木で構成されるフェンス」を「木材でできてるフェンス」に勘違いされない様に、どうやって表現したらいいでしょうか？

樹木を列植した垣根
Explanation:
If the source refers to a hedge, 生け垣 is perfectly fine, but just in case it refers to a tree fence like the ones in this link, http://www.gardeningclan.com/10-fast-growing-trees-natural-g... 樹木を直列に栽植した垣根 will be better. In fact, 樹木を列植した垣根 can be used for a hedge as well. The term is used by many municipal governments in their requirements for subsidizing fence building. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&e...

In Japan, tree fences are small and can be called hedges, but that's not always the case outside of Japan. So, I just thought of giving this option.

My point is that 生垣 is formed of shrubs and bushes, but the source includes "trees," which can be taller than what is categorized under 生垣.

You made a good point about 生け垣 being different from trees. Since the original refers to both, I think your translation matches the best. Thanks!

Sorry I accidentally hit the key. I wanted to show the following websites;

http://shop.takii.co.jp/shop/selection/hedge111219.html

Also 生け垣き can be written as 生垣 (This is what I wanted to write in the parenthesis).
