Description
This one of a kind book details and describes 117 deer proof/deer resistant plants. Covers the plant gamut from annuals, perennials, groundcovers, vines, deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs. Much more than a simple list of plants, it gives all the information needed for success. The plants ultimate height and spread, the best positioning for the plant, the time of its bloom, the exposure needs (sun/shade etc) and care tips. With over 255 spectacular, full color photos, it is visually beautiful as well as informative. Now, see many plants in all four seasons growth! Suggests deer proof plants for problem areas such as steep slopes, shady spots, sandy soil, acid soil and more! Finally, lists plants never to be used in a deer proof garden, as they are sure to be browsed by deer. This new book, introduced in spring of 2008 is the definitive book on creating a deer proof garden. Do not use outdated lists and reference books with old information! Many of the lists and books describing deer resistant plants are 5 and 10 years old! Much has changed in the last 10 years in terms of deer eating habits. The deer population has grown dramatically in the last 5 years. This creates an increase in feeding pressure on the herds and forces deer to try other deer resistant plants that were not touched years ago. This is a fact! Do not use old information
