nodog - you and I think alike
kevin1 - I'm going to buy some cedars to plant. 3 reasons. #1 they give the deer the feeling of shelters if I plant them a few rows deep, all the way around the property. #2, deer LOVE to rub them and #3 deer LOVE to scrape under them. I guess you could say I'm creating my own scrape lines - which might be exactly what I'm doing. You have any evergreens around your place there ?
I know honeysuckle is invasive .......... thats where the deer will come in handy to keep it in check, especially in the later months of the year.
I wish I had some persimmon trees .......... I might clear a few trees and plant some of those sweet hybrid ones that get big - deer love persimmons in the fall right after the first hard frost !
Persimmons do grow well in our zone , I believe you're zone 6 also . Give some though to planting Japanese persimmons , they look and taste just like ours but they get as big as golf balls . If that ain't a deer magnet I'll eat my hat !
