Would mass-plantings of lavender (Lavendula - i.e. L. angustifolia) deter 
deer (and rabbits) from a garden, orchard or restoration planting?

Also, my friend lives in suburban deer-country ... How would corrugated tubes 
work for preventing deer/rabbit browse? Does it cause the freshly planted 
whip/sapling (4') to quickly reach for the top (6') in time to avoid 
solar-starvation?  How about a cost-effective solution for spraying 60 newly 
planted saplings - one that does not involve fencing them in?

Thank you,
