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.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

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.
