What animals eat rhododendron flower buds?
deer
Are the leaves of marijuana as strong as the buds?
No, the leaves are not as strong as the buds.
Does apple blossom come after the leaves?
Yes. In spring, the buds on the branches shed their brown protective layer. A cluster of leaves grow from the bud. At the centre of this cluster is an apple blossom. So, yes, the first sign of life after winter is the leaves, not the blossom. See http://www.ehow.co.uk/facts_7473077_do-trees-bloom-leaf-first.html for more details.
How do trees protect their buds in winter?
Trees survive winter using various techniques. However, the techniques they use to survive winter are different. * Deciduous trees. Deciduous tress are trees that lose their leaves during winter. Since food isn't in abundance in winter and photosynthesizing is virtually impossible, trees need to save food. Therefore, trees stop the flow of nutrients to their leaves. The leaves, subsequently, change color due to languishment and die off. * Coniferous trees. These trees do not lose their leaves during winter. Their leaves (pines and pine-like leaves like pinecones) are more durable, and lighter, and do not burden the tree as much as the leaves of deciduous trees do.
Do deer eat rhododendrum buds at night?
Yes, they do eat RHODODENDRON buds at night, in the morning, during the day, in the evening, whenever they want to. When times are good, they feed at night and rest during the day. When times are tough, they may be seen browsing at most any hour of the day. However, they usually pull off leaves also. They only have teeth on the bottom of their mouth. They grab and rip leaves and/or buds off a plant. They are browsers, and just take a couple leaves or buds off a plant and then move on. Of course the cumulative action can be devastating to plants they feed on, especially with the overpopulation of deer in many parts of the world. Rhododendron, including azaleas, are not usually the first choice of food for deer. But as food sources become unavailable, due to the season, snow, previous browsing, land development, or whatever, they keep tasting new plants and develop new tastes. If deer are eating buds now, they may start eating the leaves next. The worst damage to rhododendrons occurs in the winter, especially after the first snow. It can become so bad that an 8' deer fence or chemical deer repellants need to be used to keep plants from being severely damaged or killed. Chemical repellants normally require more frequent application when the weather is stormy. It is best to alternate between different chemical repellants as deer can get accustomed to one. When only buds are missing, it can also be caused by squirrels. However, I have had deer take all the buds off a planting of deciduous azaleas after the buds had swelled and were ready to open in the spring. (Azaleas are a type of rhododendron)

The snowshoe hare nibbles throughout the night on leaves, grass, and ferns. There is no specific amount that they eat. During the winter, they eat twigs, bark from trees, and flower buds. They have been known to steal meat from bait-traps. The nocturnal hare turns white in winter and brown in spring.
