Do deer eat the trees?

Since they are an evergreen and stay green year around, deer can sometimes nibble on the trees in the winter. However, it's not their primary source for food, so they tend to only nibble after deep snow falls. Deer are generally not an issue, however if it becomes an issue, Home Depot sells an oil based spray for under $20. That will eliminate any interference.
