Deer Resistant or 'Deer Proof' Plants
 

Deer Resistant Plants and Shrub and Trees

If you are looking for a list of 'Deer Proof plants', sorry we can't help.

In our experience no plants are 'Deer Proof' however many are 'Deer Resistant' or at least they are not as palatable as others, or perhaps they give of an aroma that is not quite to the Deers taste. However a hungry Deer is not that fussy...

It also needs to be remembered that Deer do not only eat plants, they rub against them and stand on them.

Deer tend to resist plants that are highly aromatic such as some of the Salvias and Lemon Balm. Deer also prefer to avoid plants with prickles (however they seem to love roses)

Deer Proof Plants, no such thing, now a Deer Proof Fence is a possibility, but build a good one...

Deer Repellent Plants. Now these are the ones that might make deer actually go away, you are looking at strong smelling plants for this, maybe garlic and onions, however although deer might not like the smell of garlic and onions, when they are in the ground they do not actually smell as strong as when they are processed. Worth a try, but no guarantees......
