I don’t have very many fruit trees/shrubs so I surround them with a ring made of a 5 foot section of hardwire cloth and secure them to a t post. this summer I could only get my hands on tiny t posts but will swap them for bigger ones at some point. Michael Judd posted a video on YouTube a long time ago suggesting that standard welded wire fence allows deer to put their hoof in and reach higher on the tree. thats why I went with hardware cloth. my rings are a bit big but I plan to keep my trees small so I can harvest by hand from the ground and I didn’t want them to be all bare trunk up to the top of the fence.
