I am literally crying right now! Wish I had this info last year! The deer ate all my fruit trees. Well Now I know! Thanks I will be doing this this year when I plant my new seedlings! Thank you so much for sharing!WOW
I've been using the remesh fencing on my fruit trees for many years now, it does work well! I recommend more like 18.75 feet of fence, so the diameter is about 6' and can get 8 fences out of a 150' roll of remesh. 12' of material corresponds to a fence diameter of about 3.8 feet - tree's going to outgrow that way before it should be removed. I use 2 x 18" rebar stakes into the ground to keep them secure.
Hi Paul. As part of our permaculture goal, we’ll be planting comfrey under our fruit trees for several reasons. Comfrey is wonderful for brining nutrients to the surface (an accumulator), suppresses weeds, attract pollinators, and act as a natural mulch when the leaves drop, just to name a few. Hope this helps! -Andrew
Larger would have been good, eventually the orchard grew that it justified adding a 3D fence. For a few trees and location, the cages worked great. ua-cam.com/video/MVbkqsj2NEc/v-deo.html

Finally a good video on protecting trees from Deer. THANK YOU TIMES 10.
Excellent video
Great idea, and plenty large. It seems to me that a lot of people do this but have a cage that is way too small.
You mentioned adding comfrey at each location. What does that do?

@@GrowingwithStarkBrosthank you!!!!❤😊
Try hanging Irish Spring soap from a branch. Apparently they hate the scent.
I'm going to try this but for different reasons. My dog chewed up my lime tree 😔 😟
Sorry to hear that!
About 5 feet tall ?
Yes!
