Q:
How deer resistant is this plant?
Asked by:
Deb
- 2/25/2020
A:
According to a three year study by Shaw Nature Reserve, alumroot falls under the "light browse" category, which means deer will eat it. Their categories are: No Browse, Very Light Browse (tasted), Light Browse, Medium Browse, Heavy Browse, and Complete Browse.
Alumroot foliage will grow back fairly quickly if given the chance. So, though a deer may nibble on it, the damage won't be so severe that it kills the plant.
