You might have a deer problem

... if your cedar hedge looks like this.

This is the neighbour's one-day hedge, which looks like its really just going to only ever be deer fodder.  You can see this thwarted promise all over the city.

At local garden centres in Calgary, the first question we wanted to know is whether a plant was winter hardy. Here, it's if a plant is deer resistant.  There are many webpages dedicated to gardening and planning for the unwelcome visitors, but we usually rely up on a liberal application of Plantskydd.
