@murchr, For Kei Apple, you plant the seeds and not the stems. BTW the seeds are edible and very sweet... It's a fruit. Start by getting the ripe fruits, which are yellow in colour. Each fruit has very many seeds which you can havest my manually removing the fresh and retain the tiny seeds. Then make some furrows along the intended fence and plant the seeds, water them and will then germinate. Once the seedlings reach knee height, u need to start coiling it to kake a good fence. For best results you can first do a chain link or berded wire fence and coil the kei apple on the fence. You can get the seeds from mature Kei apple during the fruiting season. Kei apple fence is laborious to manage as it requires regular trimming. The thorns are very prickly and painful. Best results if you have a big plot size as it can easily overgrow.
You can also buys seeds at a seeds shop or try KEFRI .
Best of luck
I remember these fruits when i was young , never tasted coz i heard they were poisonous. The guy is confusing kei apple seeds with lokwats kwa kiswahili the yellow msabibu. I hope I got the correct spelling of lokwats. They have sweet ripe yellow seeds too @enyands you're the confused one. It's true as @kiash says, some people eat those Kayaba fruits and I have seen. Lokwats we know them too they're eaten. I'm not confused .kayapa fruits are very nasty I tried them when young and I know the taste hasn't changed .unless wewe Boris and your friends have discovered a sweetened genetically modified kayapa then I'll rest my case. .I don't know how your sensible friends can eat that thing .it's bitter like hell though deceiving yellow like lokwats fruits. That's what I meant. Kwani kizungu ni ngumu lol .I thought you were once a teacher ama Is there any wazuan eating those fruits hapa.please tell us how they taste.

Anyway usisahau trees trees trees in your budget What do you mean by 'Trees'? Fence trees ama miti kwa shamba? Is boungavillia a competitor of nutrients too? Can hibiscus be a fence? On hibiscus, yes it can be a fence, though as it grows it needs some training - but its good especially in the drier areas. I bought some seedlings for the same hapo forestry institute on kiambu road. I have not noted the root system for bougainvillea extending far, thus it keeps to its planted area unlike kei apple whose root system spreads far. Ero kamano. One more question, I know Bougainvillea needs a support. I've seen the chain-link fence, with it grown into it.. What about hibiscus? Is hibiscus thorny too?

No hibiscus is not thorny, it does not need support since it grows like a ka 'tree' but if you want it as a well knit fence, you can have a wire fence then as the hibiscus grows you train it around forming a thick fence, but also it will just do well on its own without suport, especially if you plant them close together. The flowers too are a nice addition.

Wewe ni mtoto wa sugar and sweet things! When I was in primary school we were asked to bring kaiyafa fruits, the 4k club then fermented them before sowing the resulting pulp, it came out well and the fence still stands today, I don't have to mention we took some of the fermented stuff hoping to get high, the school was smelling like an illicit beewery for weeks To Each His Own

@QD did you manage to do the fencing? last year I got a quote from a company that do plastic recycled posts 5 acres was totaling to 171K for everything needed.my quote was for 175posts@600Kshs,3Mtrs apart and 5 rolls of barbed wire Devki @ 21,625. Hiyo ni pesa ya acre moja! I decided buying posts from these mbao dealers was the next option. Id like to do the fencing this time round. How many posts did you settle for for 5 acres? and where did you get the posts around Kajiado to reduce costs of transport QD wrote:Thanks everyone and from the post this i will do
1.Buy buy long posts of 8'.
2.Use barbed wire.
3.Prop posts with concrete mixer o a 2.5'-3' holes.
4.Plant Kayaba to transition to the live fence.
5.Build a simple house for farm use/Keeper.
I need this last help coz i am a first timer.
1.Where to source for the posts fairly has to be btw Kisaju and Kajiado.
2.Reference of who can do a neat job already got one but need the second for comparison/competitive bargain.
@Gathige, Tokyo and Njung'e any heads up and i am really appreciative of the help am getting. Every Insult is an Opportunity

If you did, how much did it cost you? Any challenges you consider worth noting? I ask because I'm attempting to do something similar but in Laikipia county on a 5 acre land.

I read somewhere here that if land is intended for farming kei-apple has a vast root system that can interfere. I did Eucalptus (Cedar much better - long-lasting and less bulky to carry) and planted Finger Euphorbia (Can also be used as bio-pesticide) and cactus(Medicinal and Fruits are bought, some source of income)

@murchr, For Kei Apple, you plant the seeds and not the stems. BTW the seeds are edible and very sweet... It's a fruit. Start by getting the ripe fruits, which are yellow in colour. Each fruit has very many seeds which you can havest my manually removing the fresh and retain the tiny seeds.

For best results you can first do a chain link or berded wire fence and coil the kei apple on the fence. You can get the seeds from mature Kei apple during the fruiting season. Kei apple fence is laborious to manage as it requires regular trimming. The thorns are very prickly and painful. Best results if you have a big plot size as it can easily overgrow.
You can also buys seeds at a seeds shop or try KEFRI .

Eucalyptus has a bad reputation for being a very thirsty plant. If kei apple is bad for farming then it follows that eucalyptus is worse, ama? In places that receive little rainfall such as Laikipia I think it would be catastrophic to plant eucalyptus, no? Now I wish Wazua allowed pictures because they're really worth a thousand words

My dilemma with kei-apple fence is what one brother mentioned earlier, that it will be competing with crops for water and nutrients; I'm curious how aggressive it is. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌳🌳🌳🌳 Do you know?

Hi. Kei apple not bad. Kwangu i use it as fence kwa shamba and no problems. Blue gum is the thirsty one and ruins crops...as does black wattle and cypress. But blue gum is worst. The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

I look forward to owning a fence like the one that was in my school.

Hi. Kei apple not bad. Kwangu i use it as fence kwa shamba and no problems. Blue gum is the thirsty one and ruins crops...as does black wattle and cypress. But blue gum is worst. Kei-apple is good and effective. Just requires trimming from time to time. Yes I read here that trimming is a tedious job. I only remember school workers in my kanjo primary School trimming them. I look forward to owning a fence like the one that was in my school.
