plants)

Surprisingly few are actually Bambi-proof. Oleander, I suppose,
and other toxic ones, but deer seem willing to eat almost anything,
especially any irrigated plant during a dry spell. I've had citrus
trees almost stripped by deer, and deer are supposed to hate those.
Roses are merely more prone to attack at almost any time, as deer
genuinely seem to enjoy eating any part except mature wood.


They don't seem to like peonies much, so I've put in quite a few of those.

If the deer bother my tree peonies, it's curtains for Bambi.
