Q.Will The Deer Feed On The Camellia Shrub

Zone leland n.c. | Anonymous added on January 18, 2021 | Answered

I live in North Carolina and have a problem with deer eating our rose bushes.
I like the look of the camellia shrub for a replacement. The bed faces east and gets morning sun, up to about noon.
I welcome your feed back.

Although deer have been known to munch on a camellia, it's certainly not their favorite. I think you'd be safe to plant one, especially if they have other more appetizing treats nearby. Here's an article you may enjoy:
