Hello! As described, I'm working on an article for PetHelpful on how homeowners can protect saplings/young trees from deer, and we're looking for landscapers, gardeners, and similar experts who can help us answer a few questions (wildlife experts are also more than welcome to chime in). My questions are: Why Do Deer Damage Young Trees in Fall? When Should You Protect Young Trees From Deer? How Do You Protect Young Trees From Deer? What Is the Best Deer Repellent for Young Trees? Does Deer Fencing Protect Young Trees? What Doesn’t Work to Keep Deer Away From Young Trees? The Best Ways to Keep Deer Away From Young Trees Without Harming Them?
