Deer have never bothered my pawpaws.

There would have to be nothing else green or alive
available before a deer would browse pawpaw.
In areas where deer populations are out of control,
one can look out through the forest and see the
browse line - no leaves/buds below whatever height
the deer can reach - and the only remaining
understory plant will be pawpaw; untouched.
