Extreme deer damage by me and here is my list.
Shrubs:
boxwood
andromeda
spruce (nest, globe)
junipers
barberry (though they are nibbling them now)
blue mist spirea
ornamental grasses
coreopsis
catmint
that's about it!!!!
Tree wise, I find anything works as long as it is tall enough that they can't reach it. Weeping cherry is usually a goner. I go with nothing under 2.5" cal as that usually puts most of the tree out of reach. There is always the occasional rubbing of the horns, but that is not to much of a concern.
Pretty much at the end of the line in my parts. I refuse to warranty any thing but about 10 shrubs at this point. I had the deer eat 30 spirea last fall. I've seen them take barberry to the ground. There is very little left for me to plant these days.
hostas are like candy to the deer in my area. So are the inkberry holly. and the variegated dogwoods (red twig) are usually gone the next day after I plant them.
I really don't know what the point is anymore. It's kind of nice though, because designing with only 6 plants makes it pretty easy and makes buying in bulk much easier
