Neighbor has installed a metal fence along the property line of my part shade woodland -like back yard . Limbs of her white pines extend over the area. Pittsburgh area --zone 6. The deer have mowed down many evergreen plants that are suitable for this area. Please send suggestions or experience with japanese yews, sweet box, fragrant vines or any other shrub you feel may be suitable . I would like to plant a tall/medium/short arrangement that extends into the yard. Azaleas will probably be used for the front border as the deer do not seem much interested in the other azaleas on the property. I need a short variety suggestion here as well--all my other ones , Delaware VW etc. grow so tall.
Specific color is not an issue. I just want shrubs that will survive the part shade/shade and the deer. Flowers and/or frangrance would be a bonus. Please do not suggest "plastic"--I have already considered that!! thanks
