If you move to a *real* rural woodland setting you won't need to

absolutely fake. �And unless you first build a sturdy fenced area most
any plant you bring will be devoured by deer (and rabbits).

I live in the middle of the city and deer have destroyed over 50% of

In which city do you live that there's a deer population. I doubt
there are deer in most populous cities (to survive deer need many
acres of forest and meadow to browse), sounds more like the outskirts
of a small rural town/village.
