This is a common time of year when deer and rodents become desperate for food. Deer will browse on nearly anything that peeks out above the snow. They are particularly fond of evergreens and young shoots, resulting in misshapen shrubs and barren stems. You can identify deer browse damage by stripped foliage or the frayed breakage on stems.

Enjoy the snow while it’s still here! If you have any mid-winter dreams about your garden that you’d like to discuss, please reach out.

All our best,
