1.\tRUTGERS UNIVERSITY COOPERATIVE LANDSCAPE PLANTS RATED BY DEER RESISTANCE. <\/p>\n

This is directly from the Rutgers University Cooperative Extension website, with a sample of the rated plant listings that are found there. Always make use of this website for its deer-resistance plant ratings! Visit https:\/\/njaes.rutgers.edu\/deerresistance\/ for the complete list.
\nLandscape Plants Rated by Deer Resistance
\nThe following is a list of landscape plants rated according to their resistance to deer damage. It was compiled with input from nursery and landscape professionals, Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) Cooperative Extension personnel, and Master Gardeners in Northern N.J.
\nRealizing that no plant is deer proof, plants in the Rarely Damaged, and Seldom Severely Damaged categories would be best for landscapes prone to deer damage. Plants Occasionally Severely Damaged and Frequently Severely Damaged are often preferred by deer and should only be planted with additional protection such as the use of fencing, repellents, etc. Success of any of these plants in the landscape will depend on local deer populations and weather conditions.
\nKEY:
\nA = Rarely Damaged B = Seldom Severely Damaged C = Occasionally Severely Damaged D = Frequently Severely Damaged<\/p>\n

5.\t\tDEER-RESISTANT SHRUBS (From \u201cHorticulture, The Art and Science of Smart Gardening\u201d)
\nQuestion: This past winter the deer ate several of my shrubs that I was told they wouldn\u2019t touch, including hollies and some low roses. Can you recommend some truly deer-resistant shrubs?<\/p>\n

Answer: Oh deer. Looking around the yard, it seems that some deer were never told, \u201cYou don\u2019t like that plant!\u201d
\nIn truth, there are certain plants that deer prefer over others, but several factors play into what they will munch.
\n\u2022\tthe severity of the winter
\n\u2022\tthe availability of other food
\n\u2022\tthe size of the local deer population (how many are competing for food)
