Deer are not phased by Poncirus. They have been keeping mine pruned for a few years now.

Mmmmm. That's quite attractive. I once thought of the Poncirus as a booby trap for the throngs of deer hereabouts, but never followed through.

The orange requires full sun. The mahonia, M bealei, is full sun to light shade. The Eleutherococcus I mentioned has thorns and takes part to full shade and I have an opportunity for several so I might create a hedge in front of the the privacy fence. If you're not familiar with it:

How about Poncirus trifoliata, Japanese Bitter Orange? Ornamental and vicious. <g>

If leatherleaf mahonia will grow there, that is the sharpest, pickiest
stuff. I planted one between me and the imbeciles next door to stop the 
foot traffic.
