any landscapers? plants/shrubs deer dont eat

[nb6624]

I also live near blairstown and do landscaping.  Gardens of the world,  agway, tractor Supply, race farm, cerbos in newton are all good places to get deer proof plants

I hunted a produce farm for a long time the deer would walk through beans corn you name it to get to the melons and would not touch nothing else till the melons were gone. The last year I hunted there they put about 5 acres of gost peppers in right where the deer where coming in at also where my stand was. Well them deer would not even walk through them they walked all the way around to get to the melons. Never even a track in the gost peppers

Things deer will eat for certain much of it "candy":

• Azaleas
• Roses
• Tulips
• Impatiens
• Hosta
• Arborvitae
• Soft needled conifers like Fir, yew, etc - but Spruce & Juniper ok
• Fruit trees - in spring they nip the buds and new shoots, in fall bucks love to rub them, and of course they love the fruit that hits the ground.  You want apple pear peach etc - but you have to protect them to allow them to grow to maturity

Plants / shrubs they generally avoid but in extreme winter, have seen them nibble a bit but mostly safe:

• Rhododendron
• Boxwoods
• Lillies

Plants/shrubs I consider safe - 

• Any of the junipers and spruces
• Spirea
• Butterfly bush
• Spruce - so many varieties
• Cedar
• Daisies
• Echinacea
• Zinnia
• Mums
• Marigold
• Daffodils

Plant aromatic perennial herbs throughout your garden that have scents that deer hate, such as mint, thyme, French tarragon, lavender, chives, sage, and rosemary.  You can cut and soak the plants in water in the late fall and spray the shrubs occassionally thru the winter to keep the deer away.

Be careful about planting mint. It tends to send roots everywhere and wants to spread like wildfire.

Just keep a few hundred pounds of corn in a pile year round in your yard. They will eat the corn, and leave your plants alone.

I own AWR Deer control . I do deer repellent spraying. I saw some of the comments people have posted about what  they will or will not eat. This is how i always explain it to a customer " if you in a foot of snow with nothing to eat ,you will eat a stick " and thats what they do. I've seen barberry , green giants ,skip laurels, rhododendron , holly and even have seen blue spruce eaten. Now some of my customers they dont touch certain things others thats all they eat, but  Boxwoods ,andromada dwarf alberta spruce seem to do the best....there really isn't any bushes that are deer resistant.

My tiger lillys dont stand a chance year after year they get eaten the night before they bloom. Deer come right into my fenced yard area and eat them.
