When it comes to landscaping your yard, there are many different things you have to consider. One of the most important decisions you'll make is what type of hedge you want to plant. While most people think about which hedge will look best, it's also important to consider which ones are deer-resistant. Deer can be very destructive when they start munching on your plants, so choosing a hedge that they won't eat is key. If you're looking for some good options, check out these top 5 deer-resistant hedges below.

InstantHedge Deer- Resistant Hedges Keep Deers Out www.instanthedge.com
introduction Deer-resistant hedges are those that contain plants that deer will not eat. Some of these hedges may be made up of a single plant species, while others may be a mix of several different species. www.instanthedge.com
introduction Some common deer-resistant hedge plants include boxwood (Buxus spp.), yew (Taxus spp.), and holly (Ilex spp.). evergreens, such as yews and hollies, make good deer-resistant hedges because they provide a year-round food source for deer. www.instanthedge.com
Top 5 Deer Resistant Hedges www.instanthedge.com 1. Green Mountain Boxwood The deer hate Green Mountain Boxwood, and they will avoid it at all costs. The leaves are dry leathery with a hint of feline urine in their smell when you crush up some vegetation on your patio or walk by during bloom time - one way to make sure these nasty plants don't take over!
2. Cherry- Laurels Deer don't like our cherry-laurels and we're not really sure why. All three types of this plant are tried, true deer proof hedges - English (Prunus laurocerasus), Schipkaensis( Prunus laurocerasus ‘Schipkaensis’) ,and Portuguese Prunus lusitanica. It could be because they smell bad or have tough leaves but whatever it is trees seem to work wonders! VHERRY-LAURELS www.instanthedge.com
3. Virescens Western Red Cedar Virescens Western Red Cedar is a shrub that grows in the west and does not have any deer resistant qualities. No one knows why, but these animals leave it alone which makes us think they should be eating something else? All we can say for sure though, after looking at its similar appearance to other Arborvitae plants across America-that seems like an easy target! RED CEDAR www.instanthedge.com
4. Green Giant Arborvitae Green Giants grows fast with a bonus since it can quickly become tall enough for rabbits or other pests like cats who want nothing more than some free taste testing of your beautiful flowers; but not if you plant them alongside our favorite shrubs found on page 2-3 - "One Of The Best ." Deer Resistant Hedges
5. Teton Firethorn The Teton Firethorn is covered in long, sharp thorns that seem to pique the interest of deer. Rose plants have fleshy and soft leaves when compared with those on this type of plant; however, these same qualities make them less edible for animals like cows or sheep who would rather not get pricked by needles while eating their dinner!
