Yes they will eat the lower new leaves and ones higher up too if they can get at them. They will also have a chew at the bark and if left to their own devices will ruin a newly planted hedge. Hares will decimate a newly planted hedge. They chop off the stems and strip the bark. If either beasts are attracted to a newly planted hedge fence it with chicken wire--both sides.
