Deer & Rabbit Resistance
UNFORTUNATELY,
There is no such thing as a truly Deer or Rabbit Resistant plant. If populations are high that year, natural sources of food are scarce, or there is damage to their habitat (forest fire, flood, etc), They will eat ANYTHING! |
There is Hope!
There are plants that can survive the damage done by grazing animals or they may avoid the plants listed below due to their texture or odor. |
