<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">Here in zip 21013 the deer eat orbiculata orientalis (oriental bittersweet) but not enough to kill it off or keep it from colonizing the tree canopy. I feel that they have ravaged everything more noticeably and aggressively than in prior years - tomato vines, Kousa dogwood, Hydrangea bretschneideri, Hydrangea arborescens (but not my fancy hydrangeas so much!), wineberry, jewelweed (impatiens capensis), Phytolacca americana - the native variety (and they particulary like var. 'Silberstein' which is heavily variegated, and 'Sunnyside up' slightly less.) Rosa virginiana is ravaged as is Sambuccus 'Black Lace'.

<div dir="ltr">I have noticed that deer will browse on arboescent English ivy, but not on English ivy that grows on the ground. English ivy vines on trees will be stripped of their leaves up to the browse line, but the ivy on the ground is untouched. English ivy will be stripped off of fallen trees as well. I wonder if something happens chemically when E. ivy arboizes to make the leaves more palatable to deer.<br>
