guard your young trees and nursery stock, that's a lot of Velvet to come off.
Yep, I always have metal mesh and fencing up. A few I need to put back up since moving stuff. Have a half dozen new heirloom cider apples/pears, 3 hybrid chestnuts, a peach, a few yoshino cherries, dogwoods, even the blackberries, etc. are mostly fenced. They started eating hostas against the front of the house too so I spray those. I think I counted 45 deer in the short 1/4 mile drive down the hill and we are on a peninsula above the gorge basically so all those deer are residents in the estates. The hiking trails almost never have a tree not scarred each year. The road at my stand is lined with long deformed trees on both sides.
