As habitat managers have become more aware of the importance of woody browse in a deer’s diet, the Red Osier Dogwood has become a popular planting. This brightly colored shrub is widely used to provide both security cover and something for deer to munch on. The twigs of this species are bright red and tender and deer love to browse on them. A popular strategy is planting these shrubs along travel corridors leading from bedding areas to food sources. Deer love having something to snack on as they make their way to main food sources and the cover provided by these shrubs means deer will feel safer and be more likely to move during the day. They also produce white berries in the fall that are a favorite of songbirds, quail, pheasants, and turkeys. Red Osier Dogwoods can reach 5-9ft high and should be planted fairly close together at about 8-12ft between each one to provide cover.
