Deer

Question

Are lilac bushes/trees deer resistant? Are butterfly bushes deer resistant?

Answer 1

For the most part, they are deer resistant. That being said, no matter what the plant, if a deer is very hungry, it will eat almost anything. This is why they say deer resistant rather than deer proof.
