With the country-wide range of posters in this NG, there must be some
experience of being bothered by deer. I just wondered if anyone knew of
other plants which can be added to the lists below.

Plants they like:

Deer are a plague.

They love Japanese maples and Snakebark maples. They also love Cornus

In spite of 1.2 m fencing all around it, they ate the tender top off of
A. shirasawanum 'Palmatifolium' last week.
