Don't let deer destroy young trees!
Antlers are hardening and bucks will be shedding their velvet soon. To remove this itchy stuff, they often use young trees. This type of wound can kill or forever maim your young tree. Wrap the trunk or build a cage around young trees., anything less than three inches in diameter is at risk. Important: Don’t leave it on forever! Remove anything close to the trunk during the active growing season!
Contact your local Extension office for more information!
