About a month ago I planted some new fruit trees. In my post about the planting of the trees 
So I got myself some welded wire fencing and cut it to fit around each of the young trees. Its hard to say if they already got preyed upon during the month they were uncovered.. I cannot tell the difference from insects eating the leaves and the deer mostly. I guess the ones the deer eat are missing more stem than just leaf like bugs do. But I think I got to them soon enough where they should come back strong next year.
I have pear trees, a plum tree and a peach tree. Hopefully one day they get big and strong, and in the mean time I need to protect them from large animals that roam the property. Deer will use their antlers and rub up against the trees causing damage. They will also eat the young leaves and stems of the plant. Protecting them is something that is important to do.
Picked up the 6 foot tall fencing at my local hardware store. I cut it to size using wire cutters.
Still lots left on the spool, got around 50 feet of it.
Cutting the fencing wires I make sure to leave some meat so I can wrap around the metal to each other.
Slowly but surely I get it all prepared.
I made a few in different sizes, as the young trees are a little different shaped from each other.
Once all prepped, I move the wire frame out to where the young fruit trees are.
Glad none of them fell out during my drive, or got pulled out getting too close to tress.. lol
Using some ground stakes I tied them to the posts.
Should do well I think, until they grow more.. then they will need larger ones.
I may need to redo just one of them, as still has some leaves sticking out. If its a buck eating these it probably wont risk getting its antlers tied up in it. But not sure if a female will still eat the bits poking out.
I may need to add more stakes, for now each has two holding the fencing in place.. but may add two more to each.
Hopefully they will be protected, but time will tell.
