Well Tanis, that gets me thinking, I have a roll of root grafting tape, I could dig up one damaged evans and perhaps get a pile of grafts out of the roots, I recall hearing that evans aren't real compatable to other prunus so this would solve that problem. And the other plants can recover by root sprouting as they will. I am intrigued by Dean's comment about cutting saskatoons to the ground and thus making a mini forest out of one plant. My thinking was that I need to get the stems up over 1" dia. quickly to avoid the voles by bark thickness.
I also had a patch of dolgo crabs I was growing from seed for rootstock, about 150 quite close together like a forest, and the voles got every single one, cutting many off completely at ground level. I had to be careful digging because so many didn't show above ground level anymore! I call 'em micro beavers.
Thanks, Del
