Suggestion for deer resistant plants and flowers?
Large Trees

None have been observed to be resistant enough to leave unprotected. Fortunately, trees can be caged until they grow taller than the deer when small. The best approach is to make a cage around each tree until it grows beyond the deer's reach.

Reply:Two things to try. One is something like hot ground pepper in oil; spray it on yur flowers and they will taste bad to the deer, one bite and they will give up and go look for a drink. It won't harm them.



The other thing is panther urine, which they will smell and stay away from. I admit it doesn't smell nice, but you might be able to find it at gardening stores or hunting shops. You will have to explain to them what you want to do with it. Here's hoping you have a bumper crop!
Reply:There are a lot of deer repellants available for the garden. Instead of planting a few inedible plants, try getting an actual repellant. Try one that is made from coyote urine, and that scares them away from the garden and is safe for your vegetables. Farm stores and maybe even your local hardware store in the garden center should have what you're looking for.
Reply:Try watching HGTV. I saw it once and this man had some sort of fountain that made a clicking noise and when it clicked the deer would run. This way you can plant whatever you want without worrying about the deer. Also watch DIY, it's on the same channel as HGTV. Check it out.

Reply:Daylilies are the way to go when it comes to deer. You can border your vegtable/flower beds with daylilies to deter the deer. They simply don't like them.
