Looking for a Shrub Hedge

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Hi Folks,

I am looking to plans a shrub hedge to keep the forest at bay. I am in Central jersey and Deer are everywhere. I planted 4 forsythias and they havent really gotten set, probably the deer chewing on them and I am finding that the vines from the forest are attaching to them.

Should I consider a barberry shrub ? I would need atleast 20 of them which is also a factor. Any other thoughts ? How do I keep a fine line of seperation between the forest and my property.

I have a lot of time, in no hurry....but I would like a shrub that doesnt mine being attached by vines from one side and also doesnt get chewed by deer..
