100 Hardy Plants, Part 1

Deer often steer clear of plants that are poisonous, fuzzy, coarse, spiny, bitter, or very aromatic. But if deer are unclear about liking something, they'll try it, so even things they don't like aren't always safe for you to plant! For starters, arm your yard with plants like these:

Abelia Acacia Albizia Ash Australian fuchsia (Correa) Bamboo Barberry (Berberis) Black locust Bottlebrush (Callistemon) Box elder (Acer negundo) Boxwood Butterfly bush (Buddleia) Cedar Cotoneaster Currant (Ribes) Cypress Daphne Elaeagnus Eucalyptus Euonymus (except E. alata and E. fortunei) False cypress Fig Fir (except balsam, Fraser) Flowering quince Ginkgo biloba Hackberry Hawthorn (Crataegus) Heath Heavenly bamboo Holly (except smooth-leaf types) Japanese maple Kerria japonica Lantana Lilac Magnolia Mahonia Mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) Oak Olive Palms Pieris japonica Pine Podocarpus Pomegranate Smoke tree (Cotinus coggygria) Spiraea Spruce Sugar bush (Rhus ovata) Sumac Tamarisk Tea tree (Leptospermum) Viburnum Yucca
