Excellent video 🤠

Yeah, we did this to protect out 24 Maple trees we planted down our driveway. The field rodents used it as a way to shelter and chew up the bark. Almost lost a lot of the trees. It's been about 5 years now and the bark is still trying to heal over

I've had good success with plastic mesh fencing. It looks a lot better. Problem is low branches can interfere so I either wrap around them or many time times I put wire fence around a larger radius.

GREAT IDEA FOR LIMBLESS TREES

The problem with using these black tubes is that they heat up in the winter sun causing the cambium cells to thaw and take in extracellular water. Then at night when the temperature rapidly drops, the cells freeze and burst from the expansion of ice crystals causing major cambium damage.

Thanks for this idea. I've had this trouble with some green giant arborvitae. What would you recommend to protect evergreens such as them?

Hello sir can we use simple pvc pipe Insted of corragated pipe

I have seen rubs on much bigger trees, trees the size of my arm and even the size of my leg. But never seen the deer that made them! Dang! Would love to have seen the deer that made those rubs, especially during deer hunting season! lol We had 3 apple trees planted a few years ago, of course the deer loved to rub on the one tree and we even had a tree protector on them! The one tree did not make it past 2 years, not because of the deer. The other trees lasted 5 - 7 years, but the one tree was a favorite of the deer to make a rub on and eventually died. The last one lasted another 2 years and then died, the deer kept eating the apples and eating the leaves and branches. When we first moved to our property we planted some evergreen trees. The deer made rubs on about 3 of the trees when they got to be about 6 feet tall, 2 of the 3 trees survived. The 3rd tree eventually died, I think it became diseased because we found what we call "bag bugs" or Bagworms on it. If I had only known about using flexible plastic drain pipe to protect the trees, then we might not have lost our trees to the deer. But we love seeing the deer.

I hate these animals; they are no different from rats. It looks like everyone who enjoys planting has been their hostage. Even with the abundance of wild trees, plants, and leaves all over, they will still come and attack your small tiny fruit tree that just started to grow and leaf.
