With the country-wide range of posters in this NG, there must be some
experience of being bothered by deer. I just wondered if anyone knew of
other plants which can be added to the lists below.
Plants they like:

add tulips
add daffodils/narcissi and bluebells.
TBH the biggest bother we got from deer was tree related; I was
growing thousands of young trees and they would either nip out the top
leader , or on larger ones, rub off young bark with itchy new antlers.
They could easily have got into our veg garden but never did afaik. They
would come right down to within a yard of the house at night, to eat shrub
roses. Except rugosa roses .

Our previous garden was on a deer track.

They love Japanese maples and Snakebark maples. They also love Cornus
florida, young beech shoots.
In spite of 1.2 m fencing all around it, they ate the tender top off of
A. shirasawanum 'Palmatifolium' last week.

will keep them out - so I am told. I'm lucky enough not to be bothered by
them, there don't seem to be any wild deer near me in Leics (except the ones
confined in Bradgate Park)

saw them at it. It was a small one, and the rabbit managed to bend it
over to eat the foliage right to the top. Subsequently I have managed
to kill several myself without the assistance of any wildlife.
