This is "lab lab", a green vine that deer love to eat!! Ken sent a package up, and I planted it next to several trees and in this planter. It is getting really big now, have to take a new pic! It vines up trees, fences, etc. has flowers.
I researched several "sprays" for the cherry trees for deer repellent and found that ALL of them have cayenne pepper as the first ingredient!! one has cinnamon oil also. I decided that I can MAKE IT much cheaper than $18.00 for a small spray bottle!! One of the owners at CURVES said she has 2 different hot peppers that are ripening and will give me some. I will put them in the blender with cinnamon, vegetable oil, whip them up and strain the "juice" and spray my trees!!! Back to basics, as usual!! Prob. put a little dish detergent in too. Will not hurt trees, and by the way, squirrels HATE pepper......but it doesn't bother birds, so will start sprinkling pepper on our bird seed. Rock still has a pesky squirrel pestering him! lol
