Deer resistant evergreens

11 years ago

I am looking for some deer resistant evergreens to plant as a screen. I have seen some conflicting reports on different websites that I've researched so I thought I would ask on here if anyone could share their experience with the following...
White, colorado blue, norway, and serbian spruce
White fir
Green Giant and ellegantissima arborvitae

Thanks

You should be o.k. with the evergreen trees you mentioned.Stay away from the Arbs, they love those, & they will eat every kind of holly that is out there.You can have them, but your gonna have to keep them sprayed yearound with some kind of deer spray.
