OK folks, I'm looking for some landscaping help. We put in a new retaining wall that is about 75' long and I want to put a row of bushes along the wall. These will be in FULL SUN and will be planted in HEAVY CLAY SOIL in agricultural zone 5.
I'm looking for some ideas of EASY MAINTENANCE bushes that bear edible fruits. Blueberries are the first that come to mind, I've got them on the property and will probably add some more. Elderberries also come to mind and I don't have any of those on the property so I'd like to add some.
But what else can you think of that are edible berries that form nice bushes? The ideal bush would grow 4 to 6 feet tall and produce fruits that people find tasty.

Raspberry and Blackberry are not really suitable for this spot and they really form thickets instead of bushes so I do not want to include them in this planting. I have them in other areas of the property anyway, so I don't need to add more of these.
