This is just more anecdotal evidence. I have never had deer eat
either my satsumas or the kaffir lime. However, the miserable vermin
have just about killed two satsumas by scraping their horns on them.
The limes have thorns like 6 penny nails and that apparently
discourages the rubbing.

No telling what they would do if the satsumas were the only food
about.

YMMV
