Pawpaw trees and Northwest Black tail Deers

[Hillbillyhort]

That is so sad, and I feel some what responsible , as I told you in another post that the deer don’t eat pawpaw leafs here.

Pawpaw Varieties

@Vincent_8B I have very heavy deer pressure here. I find pawpaw to be the most deer resistant fruit plants I have. They do not eat the leaves, and won’t bother the fruit until dead ripe. They do sometimes rub there antlers on the trunk. They may rip the top out of a small tree just to try it. But would spit it out and leave the rest alone.

I do have MANY young pawpaw trees planted, many deer, no protection, NO damage.
Pawpaw is one of the few plants I can set out without protection ( cage) here.
So sorry if that was bad advice. ? It is working for me here.
And I have a lot of deer. Glad I don’t have YOUR deer.!
Sorry about that ( bad), advice.
