Option 1 Pros: - Bunnies cant eat the trees - Evergreen, no raking etc - Cats can't use it to climb out Cons: - Having to shape the plants - Can be expensive for these sort of plants Option 2 Pros: - Get fruit - Pretty seasonal flowers, leaf changes - Bare rooted trees are cheap now - Bunnies cant eat the trees Cons: - Lots of care needed - Cats can escape/trees grow large - Raking/falling fruit Option 3: Pros: - Native, low maintenance, handle the heat well - No raking, no falling fruit - Unlikely cats can escape (can keep hedged below fence line) - Plants are cheap Cons: - Bunnies could eat the plants So what option do you guys think would be best? - Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Long journey nearly over! 2894May 16, 2018 4:50 pm I think we're going to have to fence off our front yard from the wild bunnies . Lots of our neighbours have had to already. We were getting away with leaving the plants exposed, but they seem to have eaten their way to our house. The street just to our north seems to be their corridor between the hill and the river, the closer you are to the end of the street the worse you get hit. We need our north neighbours to move in and do their garden.

That's a tough one!! Mine is just my pet bunnies. I wish I could raise the garden bed, but don't have the time, money or know how to do that. I do like the natives, and at $20 a plant they are very affordable! Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Long journey nearly over! 2900May 23, 2018 6:50 pm Looks very homely with the new chair.
