Well, I garden on 66 acres of ex-timberland and the deer are totally
uncontrolled here... despite my best efforts! My list starts:
Hosta - absolute deer candy!! In the ground.. gone the next day! I give up.
Daylilies - every plant (several thousands) were gone within a year of
planting
Most Dianthus are pulled out of the ground daily-- I keep replanting
Iberis (Candytuft) is nibbled repeatedly though not killed
24 Apple trees killed due to nibbling and buck scrape
