Banoo-

>From an old copy of "Deer Resistant Plants for Ornamental Use"
from the National Park Service:

Plants Rarely Damaged:  Picea Pungens-- Colorado Blue Spruce

Plants Seldom Severly Damamged: Ilex cornuta-- Chinese Holly
Juniperus chinensis-- Chinese Junipers; Picea abies; P. glauca;
P. nigra; P. rigida; P. mugo; p. Resinosa; P. sylvestris; 

You note that the 1st catagory doesn't say NEVER damaged!  

Good luck
