Andrew --

How is the DEER HERD in your area ?!   You may need to fence each tree 
anyway, to keep deer from damaging them !     I've resorted to putting a 
3-foot diameter and 5-foot tall (average; wider can be shorter) fence around 
each of my trees, at least until they are above browse height.   Just the 
hoop of woven-wire fence, with minimal staking, keeps deer from feeding.   
In a regular pasture, you probably want 3 or 4 sturdy posts per tree... 
again the question "How much money do you have ?"   I'm a reasonably good 
scavenger, but I've had to buy some fencing.

tc, s.WI, so many deer it's no wonder we have an epidemic like CWD
