Deer issue . . .

I have planted some fruit trees and the deer are eating the leaves and the tips of the branches.

My cousin recommended liquid fence.

Anybody have any other suggestions? I tried the Max, but, I can't stay awake 24/7.

You can take your wifes nylons and fill them with hair from the barbershop. Hang that from the branch and deer will stay away.

Really? I guess that would explain why deer don't see me sometimes.

I take a section of 2 by 4 inch welded fence 48 inches high and make cages 2 or 3 feet in diameter. Removing the bottom wire forms "spikes" that let you push the wire cage into the ground. Once made they work 24/7/365. This has stopped tree damage caused by hungry deer.

I tried the soap, pee, hair (not mine cuase I don't have any left) and liquid fence on my fruit tree. The liquid fence works the best. In fact I spayed them again last night. Once the leaves are off them I think I'm going to put that light nylon netting around them to heep them from nipping the buds. I'll tie a few rags on them and spray the rags. This worked around my garden this year.

If you put fishing line about 6 inches high off the ground around the tree
this detures them too.
