On non native side the deer love our sprouting hostas in spring. They really hit the sunchokes as well. Recently introduced fruit/nut trees (plum apple, pear, peach, pecan and almond )which deer are already nibbling on any growth poking through the cages. Should be even better once we get fruit.
Thanks these are all very good ideas. I have a bunch of these and they all should handle deer browsing well.
Have you had to protect any of the trees or shrubs to get them to maturity or a bigger size to survive the browsing. Specifically the dogwoods and raspberries?
