My Story

Are Your Plants Being Mysteriously Pruned?

Typically, I've only seen deer in the The Lakewood Ranch Country Club just after sunup or right before sundown. But lately, I have been seeing them at various times throughout the day. The deer in the top picture was spotted about 7 am and the one at the bottom at about two in the afternoon. Both had something in common, they were tempted by the Schefflera plant. The deer below was even caught in the act.

It seems they can't resist the variegated variety and for whatever reason, this year I've seen more Scheffleras eaten than in years past. I'll keep my eyes on the plants and if the damage continues, deer repellent will be applied.

If you are interested in what plants deer favor or dislike, I've shared a list from an article I've linked below.

Impatiens                                 Palms                                        Holly Fern
