It's been 4 weeks since my deer attack, and the regrowth/recovery of the plants is amazing. Somebody described it very well as "They just want to keep on growing, don't they?". As you can see in the pics below, where the deer have snapped off a branch (the thick stem central in picture), the regrowth in leaves and shoots has been vigorous. Almost 6 inches in some places.
Regrowth on a snapped off stem.
Regrowth over 3 snapped off stems.
Also to note that hanging soap bars on the trees has worked 100%. no more deer damage since soap was installed!
