Plants deer seldom damage badly

The largest band in the database, and the most useful once you have the basics planted. Deer will nibble these, but rarely destroy them. A shrub in this tier might lose its lowest branches to a browse line and carry on for another twenty years. Judge them by whether you can live with cosmetic damage, not by whether deer touch them at all.
