Do you keep the tubes on in the summer? I lost around 15 carmine jewels this spring to voles. Then I put tubes around the survivors and haven't lost anymore-- but it doesn't seem like the greatest thing to have tubes around them all summer.

Mine were almost exclusively right at ground level, both the top of
roots & the base of the truck. Very few had tunneling down into the
ground. The interesting thing with the Nanking cherries is it
completely killed about 30 of them & the other 100 or so eventually
gained enough momentum to grow back, tho they essentially lost a year
of growth.
I've also heard mothballs into tree tubes further discourages
predation so I may give that a try this winter.

My losses from the voles here come from them eating all the roots off. I've
had tree where above the ground the tree is whole. The only problem you see
during the winter time is that the tree is tipped over unless it is staked.
I've had it where I pull the tree out of the ground and it is like the tree
was put into a pencil sharpener. All the roots have been chewed off. Are
you saying all your chews are above ground? I've had some chews above
ground but 95-99% are below ground level.
