Does anyone here know if deer eat Fig trees? Or nibble on them?

I am asking b/c my neighbor Olga's son said he would take my 3' Fig
I grew from a cutting, but he would plant it on his, yet uninhabited, property
out in the boondocks. They will move there in a bout a year

I told him that it HAS TO be planted in the ground NOW--and he has to
protect it really well for the winter. He said he would put a fence around it.
I suggested he dump some straw of dried leaves inside that fence as well .

SO--do the dear chew on Fig trees????? Thanks, Gita

Here is the candidate. approx. 2 1/2' 'tall (without the pot) It is now 2 years old.

Did you see all the other Fig Cuttings I just started???? Like--17 of them!
I have 2 of these containers full.

Olga's cousin, Luis. from Spain was here and he cut the growth on her stump
back to two mail stems. Luis is an amazingly involved and knowledgeable
expert in gardening--mostly iris. He belongs to all kinds of Iiris Societies.
We had long, interesting conversations...re gardening in general,
