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
