Tree Guard or Hot Pepper Wax used in conjunction with Coyote Urine.
Using two products will activate the sense of smell and taste and encourage the deer to move on to more attractive foliage (hopefully not your neighbors).

Fencing and Tree Guards for Deer
Fencing is the most effective way how to protect trees from deer. If you have many trees, surround the entire area with woven-wire fencing.
Install the Right Tree Guard
Guards help protect your tree from animals, foot traffic, and damage from cars and bicycles.
The plants are protected from the animals using devices such as the careful placement of rocks and logs to prevent browsing by giraffes and zebras and a variety of tree guards such as pole wraps around fig trees, metal wires and mesh.
Protect against sun scald and damage by small mammals by installing tree guards on young trees, but not too tightly, as they can inhibit growth and cause the bark to stay moist, encouraging disease.
Protect peach trunks and larger scaffold limbs from winter sun scald by wrapping them in white plastic tree guards, or painting them with white interior or exterior latex paint thinned with an equal part of water.
Shield plants animals might eat. Put fencing around shrubs. Use tree guards for trees pothered by deer, rabbits and voles.
Make sure all tender bulbs are stored for the winter. Most like to be hit by a frost, before you dig and dry them.
Tree Patrol. Protect young trees from mice and rabbit damage by placing tree guards around the trunk. Be sure to take into account the snow depth to make sure the guard is high enough.
Pick up and destroy fallen fruit, which may contain grubs. Remove plastic and paper tree guards, where adult flies and moths may spend the winter. Replace them with wire mesh guards. Surround trees with mulch instead of grass.
These range from wire mesh or plastic tree guards set around young trees to protect them from mice and rabbits, to smelly soap hung on branches or tall fences erected around the orchard to discourage deer.
Fix the trunk to the stake about 30cm (1ft) above soil level with a tree tie. If rabbits are a problem, protect the bark with a spiral tree guard wrapped round the trunk after planting. Don't forget to loosen the tie as the trunk grows.
