Have A Lush Garden With Deer Resistant Shrubs

In the quest to establish a lush green garden that is a haven for thriving wildlife and pollinators, selecting the right plants and trees can make a big difference. When looking for different options, you must choose native trees and shrubs, as they are well-adapted to local ecosystems and climate conditions. However, one of the biggest challenges gardeners face when designing their landscape is choosing plants that do not attract deer.

Deer are beautiful wild animals, but let's face it, they can cause some severe damage to your lovely garden. Deer likes to feast on plants, flowers, and fruits usually found in every garden. One night, you will sleep thinking your outdoor space is well protected; the following morning, it will be a mess.

Unfortunately, some of the most popular shrubs, including yews and arborvitae, are deer favorites. So, how do you prevent deer from ruining your yard? The answer is a deer-resistant shrub that allows you to keep those pesky deer at bay.

Easy to Grow

Soak and Hydrate Shrub Roots

To plant bare root shrubs, start by soaking the roots in water for several hours to rehydrate them. While they soak, dig a wide hole that's twice as large as the root spread but only as deep as the roots reach—this prevents settling.

Use Soil From Hole Dug to Plant

Create a mound of soil at the bottom of the hole to support the roots and position the shrub so the crown is just at the soil level mark. Spread the roots evenly over the mound, backfill the hole with native soil, and gently tamp it down to eliminate air pockets.

Water Regularaly Until Acclimated

Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base to hold in moisture and regulate temperature. Be sure to keep the soil consistently damp during the establishment period.

Grow Tips For Success

Grow Tips For Shrub Success

Keep the soil around the base evenly moist, especially during the first growing season—this helps the roots settle in and stretch out. Don’t rely on overhead sprinklers; instead, water slowly at the root zone so the moisture soaks deep.

Mulch is a Shrub's Best Friend

it keeps weeds down, locks in moisture, and buffers the roots from temperature swings. Just don’t pile it up against the stem. Look for signs of stress, like yellowing leaves or drooping branches, and adjust your watering as needed. Avoid heavy pruning the first year;

let the plant focus on growing strong roots before shaping it. If it’s a flowering shrub, don’t expect a full show right away—it needs time.

With patience and a bit of attention, your new shrub will take off and reward you season after season.
