That's why I've got them. I have planted them near the line separating us from the subdivision next door and between the pond and the nearest neighbor's house. Deer predation on the small (<2ft) seedlings I pick up cheap from the local Soil & Water office each year can be pretty bad; some years I lose 80%, but I keep plugging away each year. The ones by the subdivision have been in as long as 12 years and are really starting to jump each year and provide a significant presence.
