    Easiest way would be a low decorative fence, Im afraid in my experience both rabbits and hares will eat almost anything and without ryme or reason. ive even seen young roses eaten.

    However, Ilex aqufolia or golden holly would be one sudgestion and perhaps shrub roses ie rosa rugosa

    My experience is protect the plants trees well. Remember to inspect regularly to make sure plant not being strangled by what ever you use. Cats also help
