We have three types of hedging in the garden - Rosa Rogosa, White Hawthorne, and Escalonia. It is a costal garden in a very rural part of the country with lots of cattle and sheep in neighbouring fields.

The Rosa and Hawthorne are thriving. But the Escalonia is alive but there was very little growth. Then we discovered, loads of droppings around the plants and I set up a camera I had bought in Lidl to monitor the area and I got a result. Hares are eating the escalonia.

Escalonia is a nice formal hedge that we wanted going down the drive. But it will not work with the hares around and I do not want to interfere with the hares - they're good fun to watch.

Can anyone advise of a nice quick growing formal hedge that animals will not like? The hedge must suitable for coastal areas.
