Illicium henryi is highly deer resistant.

Good luck finding inexpensive plants for such a project though!

2 feet is very narrow. How wide can the top of the tree/shrub be?

Have you considered a trellis with vines?

Straight Talk Privet (grows fast to about 10’)

Sky Pencil Holly (very slow, almost snail pace , at least for me in 7a).

Hicks Yew (does not grow too wide but can be pruned to the space; also reasonable growth rate)

Some azaleas can grow that tall and can be pruned

North star thuja

That’s what i can think of.

I believe any azaleas will not work in the space. Yes, some grow tall, But when tall will also cover a couple of times the width of the space available. Those varieties that will staybin the space will stay about 3 feet tall.
