Default Deer Proof Plants

Many of us live in the woods with many deer. Any advice on deer proof flowers and plants? We have found only two sure things Vinca and Pompass grass. We don’t help our situation my feeding them to the tune of over $100 per month for corn. We like to have them around but like a nice yard also.

In my area the nurseries label the plants with deer resistant labels for those deers seem to not like, only one I can remember is Colorado Blue Spruce, a pine tree.

This is apparently what Canadian deer don't seem to enjoy. Maybe their American cousins feel the same about those plants.

List.

This one ate all our plants. Mind you, he thought we were his parents.

I don’t know of any suitable plants but a dog or two would keep them away as I don't think you can have deer and a nice yard.

The corn does not help and be careful, deer can be pretty dangerous.

BTW, nice yard and home.

i like those trees but they don’t do well in the hot summers here. I have found that eastern red cedar trees to be deer proof and have planted several. Box wood and Canna have worked well also.

Thats one tame deer. We have had deer take bread from our hand on three occasions as we leaned over our porch railing. What ever happened with the deer? We have no hunting in our neighborhood which makes being tame not a danger to them otherwise I wouldn’t encourage in that way.
