The deer on my property and i have a deal. They don't eat my plants and i won't eat them. It's probably been five years since we had the winter from hell and the deer just couldn't stick to their part of the agreement. That was the winter and spring that they decided to eat anything they could reach on 20 different Rhodys. The started to eat Acuba, Holly, Winter flowerings Gardenias, Service Berry, and a few others. They also ate my hosta collection which they had never bothered enough to mess them up for the season.
I was really hoping i might get some suggestions on plants with big leaves that are just a bit more unpalatable. Has anyone tried Gunnera, Calocasia or Ornamental Rhubarb and do the deer bother them. Trees i have to protect with rings of fence till the to tall to be constantly munched on. I am waiting for them to find my grafted Paw Paw and the magnolia especially the macrophyla. Their change of appitite is surprising. There are to many to ear them all. (Z6)
