I've been following this thread and was hoping that this site might help someone choose the right plantings to keep deer out.

Here's the setting: We established a new, fenced, growing area out in a field that the Whitetail frequent and moved in a few hundred trees of 20+ species in containers, including a Jujube about 6' tall. Twice, in my fatigue, I forgot to close the gate, and both times the deer got in during the night and browsed. They did minimal damage, except for the trees they liked best: Leucantha retusa and the Jujube. They stripped the Jujube leaves completely as high as they could reach. Another thing surprised me. Typically, when a tree loses most of its leaves for any reason, it will put on new leaves. The Jujube did not. It did have a "topknot" of leaves remaining, so maybe that was enough to prevent the "releaf" signal. Hope this helps.E. E. "Mitch" Mitchamore
